Counting skills, along with normal addition and subtraction, form the foundation for early mathematical understanding. For children aged 5-6, mastering these concepts is essential not only for academic achievement but also for everyday problem-solving. Parents and teachers should be particularly invested in this developmental stage for several reasons.

Firstly, counting helps children develop number sense, enabling them to understand quantities and numerical relationships. It encourages cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and logical reasoning. Addition and subtraction word problems help contextualize these operations, allowing children to apply mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios.

Moreover, proficiency in these skills boosts children's confidence in mathematics. When they can confidently tackle word problems and perform basic calculations, they are more likely to engage positively with math in the future. Early mastery also sets the groundwork for more complex mathematical operations later in their education, ensuring a smoother transition to higher-level concepts.

Finally, consistent practice fosters collaboration between parents and teachers, reinforcing learning at school and home. By prioritizing counting and basic arithmetic, adults can help cultivate a positive attitude towards math, setting children on a path toward lifelong learning and success.
