Basic arithmetic skills form the cornerstone of early mathematical education and are crucial to a child's overall cognitive development. At the first-grade level, acquiring proficiency in basic arithmetic—such as addition, subtraction, number sense, and simple problem-solving—is paramount for several reasons.

Firstly, arithmetic instills a sense of numerical literacy, enabling children to understand and manipulate numbers in daily activities. This early mathematical grounding is essential for more complex mathematical learning that will come in later grades.

Secondly, mastering these skills can bolster a child's confidence and enjoyment in math, encouraging a positive attitude toward the subject. Early struggles with arithmetic potentially lead to math anxiety, which can hinder future academic success.

Moreover, these skills play a crucial role in a child's ability to perform other subjects effectively. Arithmetic enhances logical thinking and reasoning abilities, which are critical for science, technology, and even language arts.

Parents and teachers should also care because a collaborative approach to arithmetic helps create a supportive learning environment. Parental involvement in homework and educational activities can provide the reinforcement children need to master these crucial skills.

In summary, basic arithmetic in Grade 1 is an essential building block for academic achievement and cognitive development, and the combined effort of parents and teachers can significantly enrich a child's learning experience.
