Practicing arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction for children aged 5-6 forms a vital foundation for their mathematical understanding and future school success. At this early age, kids are naturally curious and their brains are particularly receptive to new concepts. Introducing basic arithmetic helps in stimulating cognitive development, enhancing memory skills, and encouraging logical thinking.

Understanding simple math operations lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts they will encounter later. Early practice in arithmetic boosts confidence and reduces anxiety around math, often referred to as "math phobia" that some children may develop if they struggle without foundational skills. Additionally, arithmetic operations are essential for everyday tasks such as counting objects, understanding time, and managing money, making them practical life skills.

Moreover, engaging in arithmetic exercises improves problem-solving abilities and patience, as kids learn to think sequentially and follow steps to reach a solution. This kind of structured thinking is beneficial beyond math, aiding in various subject areas and life situations. Therefore, parents and teachers should encourage regular arithmetic practice through fun, interactive methods, ensuring children develop a positive relationship with math from an early age, setting them on a path to lifelong academic and personal success.
