Parents and teachers should prioritize improving calculation skills in addition and subtraction for children aged 8-9 because these foundational abilities are crucial for overall mathematical competence. At this age, children begin to encounter more complex math concepts, including multiplication, division, and even fractions. Mastery of addition and subtraction lays the groundwork for these subjects.

Additionally, strong calculation skills boost children's confidence in their problem-solving abilities. When they can easily perform basic operations, they’re more likely to engage positively with math tasks and view themselves as competent learners. Conversely, struggling with these concepts can create frustration and anxiety, leading to a negative perception of mathematics.

Furthermore, proficiency in addition and subtraction is vital for real-life applications. Children need these skills to handle everyday situations, such as budgeting allowance, cooking measurements, or even telling time. In a world increasingly driven by data and technology, strong math skills also play a role in developing critical thinking and analytical skills.

Fostering these abilities in young learners not only contributes to their academic success but also equips them with essential life skills and lays the foundation for lifelong learning in mathematics and beyond.
