Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving in addition and subtraction for 9-year-olds because these skills are foundational for mathematical understanding and critical thinking. At this age, children are transitioning from basic arithmetic to more complex concepts, making it essential for them to apply addition and subtraction in real-world contexts. Problem-solving nurtures analytical skills, enabling students to evaluate different methods and approaches to arrive at solutions.

Engaging children in problem-solving helps them develop a growth mindset, as they learn to face challenges head-on, make mistakes, and learn from them. This resilience is essential not only in mathematics but throughout their educational journey. Additionally, strong problem-solving skills are linked to better performance in future math courses, which can influence career opportunities.

Moreover, by focusing on practical applications through story problems or puzzles, parents and teachers can spark children's interest in mathematics, making it enjoyable rather than just a requirement. This early enthusiasm can foster a lifelong love for learning. Ultimately, promoting proficient problem-solving in addition and subtraction equips children with the tools they need for academic success and everyday life, laying the groundwork for higher-order thinking skills essential for adulthood.
