Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for children aged 7-9, as these foundational skills are critical for not only academic success but also real-world applications. At this age, children are transitioning from concrete understanding of math to applying these skills in more complex situations. Mastery in addition and subtraction underpins higher-order mathematical concepts such as multiplication, division, and even algebra.

Encouraging problem-solving in these areas fosters logical thinking and helps children to approach challenges systematically. Engaging children in activities that require them to decipher word problems or real-life scenarios promotes critical thinking and motivates them to find various strategies to arrive at the solution. This not only boosts their confidence but also instills a love for learning.

Additionally, proficient problem-solving skills equip children to navigate everyday financial decisions, time management, and even planning and estimating, which are vital life skills. By nurturing these competencies early on, parents and teachers lay the foundation for a child's analytical skills, resilience in the face of challenges, and academic independence. Ultimately, it prepares them for more advanced mathematical tasks and everyday situations they'll face as they grow.
