Parents and teachers should prioritize real-life applications of addition and subtraction for children aged 6-9 because these foundational skills are crucial for everyday problem-solving and decision-making. At this developmental stage, children are naturally curious and eager to connect classroom learning to the world around them. By integrating math into real-life scenarios—such as budgeting for a shopping trip, measuring ingredients for cooking, or counting change—children develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and their relevance.

Engaging students in practical applications boosts their confidence and makes learning enjoyable. It fosters critical thinking and encourages persistence in solving problems. When children see how addition and subtraction are used in activities they enjoy or encounter in their daily lives, they are more likely to engage with these concepts, leading to improved retention and proficiency.

Moreover, such experiences promote discussions about financial literacy and resource management from an early age, equipping children with essential life skills. By emphasizing the significance of addition and subtraction in real-world contexts, parents and teachers can help children embrace mathematics not as a set of abstract rules, but as a powerful tool that facilitates understanding and navigation of their environment.
