Parents and teachers play a crucial role in the early development of children's mathematical skills, particularly in the areas of basic addition and subtraction. For children aged 6-9, mastering these arithmetic fundamentals is crucial not just for advanced math learning later on, but also for their overall cognitive development. At this stage, students are in the concrete operational phase, where they learn best through hands-on activities and visual aids. By ensuring proficiency in addition and subtraction, adults help to build a child's confidence and enable them to tackle more complex mathematical concepts with ease in the future.

These early arithmetic skills are also essential for day-to-day problem-solving. Young children frequently encounter situations requiring basic math, such as sharing toys, counting money, or measuring ingredients for a recipe. Competence in addition and subtraction equips them to handle these tasks independently, fostering their sense of responsibility and autonomy.

Moreover, working through simple arithmetic problems enhances critical thinking, attention to detail, and persistence—skills that contribute to general academic success. A strong foundation in basic math ensures children do not struggle with math anxiety and instead develop a positive attitude toward the subject. Therefore, consistent support in practicing these skills at home and in the classroom is indispensable for a child's educational journey.
