Mastering subtraction skills, alongside normal addition, is crucial for children aged 7-9, as these foundational math skills lay the groundwork for advanced mathematical concepts and everyday problem-solving abilities. At this critical stage, boosting subtraction proficiency helps enhance number sense, mental calculations, and logical thinking. Proficient subtraction abilities enable children to grasp more complex math topics, such as multiplication, division, and fractions, fostering a smoother transition to higher-level mathematics in later grades.

Moreover, strong math skills bolster academic confidence and promote a positive attitude toward learning. When children are adept at addition and subtraction, they feel more confident participating in classroom activities and tackling homework assignments, leading to improved academic performance. Additionally, these mathematical skills have practical applications in real life, such as managing money, measuring ingredients for recipes, and understanding time, thereby promoting independence and self-sufficiency.

Teachers and parents play a vital role in supporting and encouraging the development of these skills by creating engaging, interactive, and varied learning opportunities. Activities such as using manipulatives, playing math-related games, and integrating math into daily routines make learning subtraction and addition both educational and enjoyable, ultimately helping children build a strong mathematical foundation for their future academic and life success.
