Parents and teachers should prioritize basic addition and subtraction skills for children aged 5-7 because these foundational math concepts are essential for future academic success. Mastery of easy addition and subtraction fosters essential cognitive skills, such as problem-solving and critical thinking, which benefit all areas of learning. At this age, children develop their number sense and understanding of mathematical operations, laying the groundwork for more complex math concepts in later grades.

Early mastery of these skills enhances a child's confidence and motivation in math, encouraging a positive attitude towards learning. Additionally, learning basic addition and subtraction promotes the development of fine motor skills as children practice writing numbers and solving problems.

Moreover, parents and teachers can use these skills in everyday situations, allowing children to apply math in real-life contexts, such as counting objects, managing clearances for games, or even handling money during shopping. This practical application makes learning engaging and relevant. By investing time and resources in fostering these early math skills, caregivers ensure children feel competent and capable, setting the stage for a lifelong appreciation of mathematics and effective problem-solving abilities.
