Engaging children ages 6-7 in extra challenges of addition and subtraction is crucial for their mathematical and cognitive development. At this formative stage, basic arithmetic skills form the foundation upon which more complex mathematical concepts are built. Introducing problem-solving activities enhances their ability to think critically and logically as they start to understand the underlying principles of math operations rather than just memorization.

Parents and teachers should care about these extra challenges because they do more than just boost numerical fluency. They foster a growth mindset by encouraging persistence and resilience when faced with difficult problems. Children learn to approach problems methodically, understand and correct mistakes, and build confidence in their abilities.

Moreover, proficiency in math from an early age translates to better performance in other subjects, including science and technology, where analytical skills play a pivotal role. These activities also encourage collaborative learning, as children often discuss and solve problems together, thereby improving their communication skills.

Additionally, the sense of accomplishment children feel when they solve challenging problems can foster a lifelong love for learning and academic confidence. Given these benefits, extra challenge problems in addition and subtraction are important tools for holistic early childhood education, setting the stage for future academic and personal success.
