Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching addition and subtraction skills to children aged 6-8 because these foundational operations are critical for their overall mathematical development. At this age, children are typically in the early elementary grades and are beginning to build their basic numeracy skills, which serve as the building blocks for more complex mathematical concepts.

Understanding addition and subtraction helps children to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These operations are not only essential for daily life activities, such as making purchases and managing time, but they also pave the way for financial literacy in the future.

Furthermore, having a strong grasp of addition and subtraction promotes confidence in math, which is crucial during these formative years. Positive early experiences with math can shape a child's attitude towards the subject, reducing math anxiety and encouraging a lifelong interest in mathematical inquiry.

Moreover, addition and subtraction are overarching skills that support learning in other areas of mathematics, including multiplication, division, fractions, and algebra. A solid foundation in these basic operations allows for smoother transitions to more advanced topics in later grades.

In conclusion, investing time in strengthening children's addition and subtraction skills uncovers a pathway to academic success and practical competence, both in future educational settings and everyday life.
