Parents and teachers should care about addition and subtraction skills for 6-year-olds because these foundational concepts form the basis for all future mathematics learning. At this age, children are highly receptive to new information and their brains are primed for developing critical cognitive skills. Mastery of addition and subtraction not only enables young learners to handle more complex mathematical operations as they advance in their education but also fosters important problem-solving abilities.

Building these arithmetic skills early on promotes a child's confidence in their mathematical abilities, reducing anxiety and creating a positive attitude towards the subject. This confidence can translate into a greater willingness to engage with increasingly challenging material. Moreover, a strong grasp of basic math can help children in everyday situations, such as understanding the concepts of time, money, and measurements, thereby enhancing their practical life skills.

Additionally, early math proficiency has been linked to higher academic achievement across other subjects. Research shows that early numerical skills can predict later success in subjects like science and engineering, as well as improved logical reasoning and analytical thinking. Therefore, parents and teachers investing time and effort into ensuring 6-year-olds develop addition and subtraction skills are setting the stage for a lifetime of academic and personal success.
