Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of basic math skills, particularly in fractions for children aged 5-7, as this foundational knowledge has lasting implications for mathematical understanding. Introducing fractions through the manipulation of shapes helps young learners grasp abstract concepts in a tangible way, making math more relatable and less intimidating.

Understanding fractions enhances a child's ability to make sense of divided parts, sharing, and comparing quantities, which are essential life skills. For example, a child can learn how to share a pizza fairly or understand portions in cooking and baking. Moreover, engaging with fractions of shapes nurtures critical thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging children to visualize and conceptualize math in their everyday experiences.

At an age where curiosity is high, offering extra challenges in fractions can stimulate interest and motivation in mathematics; with hands-on activities and visual representations, children are more likely to stay engaged. By emphasizing these essential skills now, parents and teachers set the stage for future success in more advanced math topics, creating a strong academic foundation that supports lifelong learning and confidence in mathematical competence. Overall, the development of basic math skills in young children is crucial for their cognitive and social development.
