It's important for parents and teachers to ensure that young children, ages 5-7, get extra practice with subtraction and addition, particularly through engaging methods like word problems. At this developmental stage, a strong foundation in basic arithmetic is crucial as it sets the stage for more advanced math concepts in later years. Subtraction, specifically, helps children understand the concept of taking away, which is pivotal for their cognitive development.

By incorporating an "Extra Challenge" through word problems, children not only practice basic operations but also improve their reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. These problems put arithmetic into real-world contexts, making math more relevant and interesting. As children interpret and solve these problems, they learn to apply their math skills in various scenarios, enhancing their problem-solving abilities.

Moreover, consistent practice builds confidence and fluency in math. Struggling less with these foundational skills reduces future frustration and anxiety related to math. For parents and teachers, investing time in these exercises fosters a positive attitude towards learning and helps identify and address any learning gaps early. Ultimately, making arithmetic fun and challenging cultivates a nurturing learning environment where children can thrive academically and develop a love for math.
