Basic subtraction and addition skills are crucial for children aged 6-7, as they lay the foundation for all future mathematical learning. At this age, children begin to develop their problem-solving abilities and logical thinking skills, which are essential not only in math but across all subjects. Proficiency in normal addition and subtraction helps children gain confidence, promotes a positive attitude toward learning, and encourages curiosity about numbers and relationships between them.

Additionally, basic math skills are integral to daily life. Simple concepts such as sharing belongings, shopping, or even understanding time require a grasp of addition and subtraction. When parents or teachers prioritize these foundational skills, they ensure that children can navigate these important situations effectively.

Furthermore, mastering addition and subtraction contributes to better performance in more complex mathematics later on, including multiplication and division. Early difficulties in understanding these basic operations can lead to misconceptions that may hinder progress.

Lastly, fostering these skills strengthens the parent-child or teacher-student relationship, providing opportunities for collaborative learning and shared achievements. Thus, supporting children in developing robust basic math skills is a vital investment in their academic and personal growth.
