Parents and teachers should care about subtraction practice, along with normal addition and subtraction, for 9-year-olds because these foundational math skills are critical for future academic success and everyday problem-solving. At this age, children are transitioning from simple arithmetic to more complex mathematical concepts. Proficiency in subtraction, as well as addition, forms the basis for understanding advanced operations like multiplication, division, and fractions.

Regular practice hones children's numerical fluency and mental math skills, fostering confidence and reducing math anxiety. It also promotes logical thinking and precision, as students must carefully analyze and process numbers. Subtraction is particularly significant because it develops a deeper understanding of the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction, a concept crucial for mastering higher-level math.

Incorporating subtraction and addition into fun activities and practical scenarios—like shopping or cooking—helps children see the relevance of math in real life, encouraging engagement and retention. Teachers and parents play a pivotal role in providing consistent practice and positive reinforcement, making math enjoyable and less daunting.

Ultimately, a strong grasp of addition and subtraction at this age sets children on a path to academic achievement, equipping them with essential skills needed for future educational milestones and everyday situations.
