Parents and teachers should prioritize addition and subtraction for children ages 7-9 because these foundational skills are crucial for overall mathematical literacy and problem-solving ability. At this age, children transition from basic arithmetic to more complex concepts, making a solid understanding of addition and subtraction vital for future success in mathematics.

Proficiency in these operations helps students develop number sense, allowing them to grasp larger mathematical ideas such as multiplication, division, and eventually more advanced subjects like fractions, decimals, and algebra. Additionally, strong addition and subtraction skills foster critical thinking and logic, enabling children to approach problems systematically and make informed decisions in real-life scenarios.

Moreover, these skills are essential for daily life tasks such as managing finances, measurement in cooking, and time management. Engaging students with fun and interactive activities—like games or practical applications—can enhance their enthusiasm for math, fostering lifelong learning. By nurturing these skills early on, parents and teachers can help children build confidence and resilience in their abilities, setting a positive trajectory for their future academic journeys and personal growth.
