Understanding basic arithmetic, such as addition and subtraction, is essential for children aged 8-9 for several reasons. At this developmental stage, these skills form the building blocks of more advanced mathematical concepts that they will encounter later in school. Mastery of addition and subtraction lays the groundwork for learning multiplication, division, fractions, and problem-solving skills.

Arithmetic skills are not only vital for academic success but also for day-to-day functioning. Kids use addition and subtraction in real-life scenarios like making simple transactions in a store, following recipes, or managing their time. These skills foster a sense of numeracy, an essential competency for a range of life's practical activities.

Additionally, early proficiency in arithmetic contributes to a child's confidence in learning mathematics. Struggling with basic operations can lead to frustration and a negative attitude towards math, which can affect a child’s willingness to engage with more complex mathematical challenges in the future.

Moreover, sharpening these skills enhances cognitive functions, including memory, logical reasoning, and problem-solving, positively influencing overall intellectual development. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize teaching basic arithmetic to help children develop a solid foundation for future learning and practical life skills.
