Parents and teachers should care about basic arithmetic skills for children ages 5-9 because these foundational skills form the bedrock of future academic success and everyday life functionality. Arithmetic, the ability to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide, is crucial for developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. When children grasp these concepts early, they build the confidence to tackle more complex math challenges in later grades.

Moreover, a solid understanding of basic arithmetic aids in the understanding of time, money, and measurements, which are essential life skills. For instance, knowing how to make change, telling time, and following a recipe require fundamental math knowledge. Developing these skills early also helps in other areas like reading comprehension, as mathematical problems often require careful reading and understanding of directions. Additionally, early math skills are correlated with better overall academic performance and have been linked to higher levels of career success in adulthood.

Engaging children in arithmetic through fun and interactive activities encourages a positive attitude towards learning and reduces anxiety about math, which is crucial since math anxiety can hinder progress. Thus, ensuring that children aged 5-9 develop strong arithmetic skills establishes a foundation that supports their educational journey and daily living skills.
