Remind your kids that adding different sets of numbers can give the same total (e.g. 2+3=5, 4+1=5). Ask them for more examples. Afterwards, work through the exercise. Help them count the objects and trace a line to the missing number that makes the total 14.

Recognizing shapes and basic addition are foundational skills essential for children aged 6-8. Firstly, understanding shapes helps with spatial reasoning and geometry, providing the building blocks for complex mathematical concepts. For instance, recognizing shapes lends itself to understanding patterns, symmetry, and the relationships between objects, which is crucial for advanced mathematics and everyday decision-making.

Basic addition, on the other hand, is fundamental to numeracy. Proficiency in addition is not just about solving math problems but about developing number sense — an intuitive feel for numbers and their relationships. It paves the way for more complex arithmetic operations like subtraction, multiplication, and division.

An early grasp of these concepts enhances cognitive development and fosters problem-solving skills. For example, understanding how smaller shapes combine to form more complex figures can parallel the way basic numbers combine in addition. When children see these connections, they become better equipped to approach new academic challenges with confidence.

Parents' and teachers' encouragement in mastering these basic skills can also build a child's confidence and enjoyment in learning. This not only sets a solid academic foundation but can foster a lifelong appreciation for math and logical thinking, which are crucial in innumerable life situations and career paths.
