Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving skills in preschool addition and subtraction because they form the foundation for mathematical understanding and critical thinking. At this early age, children naturally develop their cognitive abilities through exploration and play. Introducing problem-solving in math not only fosters number sense but also enhances their ability to reason and make connections between various concepts.

Engaging young learners in problem-solving activities promotes active learning. Instead of rote memorization, children learn to analyze situations, devise strategies, and arrive at solutions. This hands-on approach builds resilience and perseverance as they experiment with different tactics and learn from mistakes.

Moreover, encouraging problem-solving enhances language development. Children articulate their thought processes, which helps in shaping their verbal skills and boosting confidence. It creates opportunities for parents and educators to facilitate discussions that reinforce reasoning and communication.

Lastly, these foundational skills support lifelong learning. Early proficiency in problem-solving equips children with the tools necessary to confront challenges not just in math, but in everyday life. By fostering these skills, we empower children to become independent thinkers who can tackle various academic and real-world scenarios with confidence and adaptability.
