Parents and teachers should care about teaching addition and subtraction to children aged 6-9 because these fundamental math skills form the cornerstone of numeracy and broader academic success. At this developmental stage, children's cognitive abilities are maturing at a rapid pace and they are especially receptive to learning foundational concepts. Mastery of addition and subtraction prepares them for more complex mathematical operations like multiplication, division, fractions, and algebra.

Furthermore, these skills are essential for daily life. Whether making change, cooking, measuring, or planning, basic arithmetic is a vital toolset. Moreover, early competence in math can boost children's confidence, promoting a positive attitude toward future learning experiences. Studies also show a strong connection between early math skills and later academic achievement, indicating that children who excel in early math tend to perform better in other subjects, including reading and science.

In addition to academics, developing math skills during this period supports critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. These cognitive skills are transferrable to other areas of learning and day-to-day life challenges. By valuing addition and subtraction at an early age, parents and educators are investing in a child’s lifelong ability to approach problems logically, boosting not just academic outcomes but overall life skills and confidence.
