Parents and teachers should place a high value on enhancing critical thinking skills through addition and subtraction for children aged 7-9 because these skills form the bedrock of future academic and real-life success. At this formative stage, children transition from concrete to more complex cognitive tasks. Critical thinking activities in addition and subtraction encourage problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills. These foundational math operations provide a context for children to think deeply, make connections, and understand the 'why' behind mathematical concepts rather than just mechanical processes.

For example, when solving word problems or tackling puzzles with addition and subtraction, children must break down the problem, decide on a strategy, and logically work through it until they find a solution. This practice strengthens their ability to approach problems systematically, a critical skill for advanced mathematics, science, and daily decision-making.

Moreover, nurturing critical thinking in early math builds confidence. By mastering these essential operations, kids feel more competent and are likely to be more engaged, curious learners. The skills gained in these early years can lead to a lifelong ability to approach challenges thoughtfully and effectively, creating a ripple effect that benefits their overall educational journey and beyond.
