Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of addition and subtraction skills in children aged 6-8 because these foundational math skills play a critical role in their overall cognitive development and academic success. At this stage, children are transitioning from concrete to more abstract thinking, and mastering basic arithmetic lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts in the future.

Additionally, easy addition and subtraction word problems help young learners apply mathematical operations in real-world scenarios, enhancing their problem-solving skills and logical thinking. These problems encourage children to analyze, comprehend, and extract relevant information, thereby developing their reading comprehension and analytical abilities. Engaging with word problems also promotes better numerical literacy, allowing children to approach a variety of everyday situations with confidence.

Early proficiency in addition and subtraction fosters a positive attitude towards learning math, reducing anxiety and building resilience when faced with challenges. When parents and teachers support the learning process, it creates a stronger educational foundation, setting children up for continued success in math and other subjects. In essence, cultivating these skills during the early grades is crucial for holistic cognitive development and instilling a lifelong love for learning.
