Parents and teachers should prioritize improving addition and subtraction skills for children aged 7-8 because these foundational mathematical competencies are crucial for future academic success. At this age, students transition from understanding basic concepts to applying them in more complex problems. Mastery of addition and subtraction enables them to grasp more advanced topics such as multiplication, division, and even fractions.

Moreover, strong arithmetic skills enhance a child's confidence and problem-solving abilities. When children feel secure in their mathematical understanding, they are more likely to engage actively in classroom discussions, seek help when needed, and develop a positive attitude toward learning. This confidence can also reduce math anxiety, facilitating a healthier educational environment.

Additionally, these skills are essential in daily life—from managing money to understanding time and measurement. By providing children with the tools to excel in basic arithmetic, parents and teachers are preparing them for real-world applications and fostering essential life skills.

Finally, collaborative efforts between parents and teachers can reinforce learning at home and in school, ensuring that children receive consistent support during this critical stage of development. Investing in their addition and subtraction skills now paves the way for lifelong competence in mathematics and beyond.
