Subtraction and addition skills are foundational to a child’s mathematical development and play a vital role in their overall cognitive growth. At the age of seven, children are at a critical stage where they transition from concrete thinking to more abstract concepts. Mastery of basic arithmetic, such as addition and subtraction, serves as a building block for more advanced mathematical principles and problem-solving skills they will encounter in the future.

Parents and teachers should prioritize these skills because they are integrated into daily life and thereby foster logical thinking and reasoning abilities. For instance, children use subtraction and addition when counting objects, understanding money, or measuring ingredients for a recipe. Word problems, in particular, help in contextualizing these operations, making math relatable and less intimidating. They also enhance reading comprehension and critical thinking as children learn to interpret the language and intent of a problem before hopping into computation.

Supporting a solid grasp of subtraction and addition through engaging word problems encourages independent thinking and boosts academic confidence. Involving children in such learning can stimulate an enthusiasm for math, which forms the foundation for subsequent school subjects, thereby setting the stage for lifelong learning and success.
