Parents and teachers should care deeply about teaching basic mathematics, particularly addition and subtraction, because these skills are foundational to a child's future academic success and daily life functioning. Proficiency in basic arithmetic forms the building blocks for more complex mathematical concepts, such as multiplication, division, fractions, and algebraic thinking. Students who grasp addition and subtraction early on are more likely to excel in math as they progress through school, improving their confidence and academic performance across various subjects.

Moreover, basic addition and subtraction are essential for practical life skills. Calculating change, splitting a bill, managing time, and understanding distances are everyday tasks that require these basic skills. A strong foundation in math enhances problem-solving abilities, logical reasoning, and critical thinking – skills that are valuable beyond the classroom and into adulthood.

For teachers, ensuring that students understand these fundamental concepts means setting them up for long-term success, academically and personally. For parents, fostering a positive attitude toward math at an early age can significantly influence a child's motivation and perseverance in learning. Parents and teachers collaborating in emphasizing the importance of these basic skills can thereby contribute significantly to a child's overall development and future opportunities.
