Basic arithmetic understanding, particularly in addition and subtraction, is crucial for children aged 4-7, as it forms the foundation for their mathematical skills and overall cognitive development. At this developmental stage, children are not only learning numbers but also developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Mastery of these basic operations enhances their confidence and curiosity in learning mathematics as they progress.

Additionally, arithmetic skills are essential for daily functioning. Children use these concepts in activities such as sharing snacks, playing games, or shopping with parents. By fostering an understanding of addition and subtraction, parents and teachers help children build essential life skills, promoting independence and self-sufficiency.

Moreover, early proficiency in these areas can influence future academic success. Research shows that strong foundational skills in arithmetic contribute to better performance in more complex mathematical concepts later on. This, in turn, can foster a positive attitude toward learning and significantly impact long-term educational outcomes.

Socially, working on arithmetic with others can enhance cooperation and communication skills. Overall, investing time in teaching addition and subtraction during these formative years supports emotional, cognitive, and social development, paving the way for a successful educational journey.
