Parents and teachers play vital roles in nurturing a child's mathematical foundation, and emphasizing problem solving in addition and subtraction is crucial for ages 7-9. At this stage, children are developing fundamental arithmetic skills that serve as the building blocks for more advanced mathematics. Focusing on normal addition and subtraction helps children understand numerical relationships and enhances their ability to perform calculations accurately.

When children engage in problem solving, they develop critical thinking skills. It's not just about getting the right answer; it's about understanding the process. This helps improve their logical reasoning, persistence, and adaptability. For example, figuring out why 8 + 7 = 15 by breaking it down to 8 + 2 + 5 encourages a deeper comprehension of number properties.

Additionally, problem solving in math fosters independence and confidence. Successfully working through arithmetic problems builds a child's self-esteem and encourages a positive attitude toward learning. This positive reinforcement can extend to other subjects, turning them into lifelong learners.

Moreover, math problems often mirror real-life situations, such as dividing a snack among friends or calculating the total cost of items. Teaching problem solving helps children apply arithmetic in practical contexts, fostering everyday decision-making skills.

In summary, prioritizing problem solving in addition and subtraction enriches both cognitive development and practical life competencies, making it essential for children aged 7-9.
