Parents and teachers should prioritize subtraction practice in second grade for several compelling reasons. First, mastery of subtraction is foundational for students' overall mathematical proficiency. By engaging with addition and subtraction word problems, children develop critical thinking skills and learn to analyze situations to form appropriate mathematical strategies. This not only reinforces their understanding of number relationships but also builds their confidence in problem-solving.

Second, subtraction practice enhances cognitive development. It encourages students to organize information, discern critical details, and apply logical reasoning—skills that extend beyond mathematics. As children work through word problems, they also improve their reading comprehension, enabling them to unpack and interpret different contexts.

Furthermore, subtraction skills are essential for everyday life, where understanding how to calculate change, measure ingredients for cooking, or estimate time are necessary. By fostering these abilities at an early age, teachers and parents equip children with necessary tools for independent functioning and decision-making as they grow. The early emphasis on subtraction through engaging word problems can transform potential math anxiety into a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment, laying a strong foundation for future learning and a positive attitude towards mathematics.
