Understanding addition and subtraction through real-life applications is crucial for children aged 5-6 as it lays a strong foundation for mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities. Engaging young learners in practical scenarios helps them see the relevance of math in their daily lives, making concepts more relatable and easier to grasp. When children engage in activities like counting snacks or toys, they begin to understand quantities and the relationship between numbers intuitively.

Moreover, real-life applications encourage critical thinking and cognitive development. When children encounter everyday challenges, such as dividing fruits among friends or figuring out how many more steps they need to reach a destination, they learn to apply their mathematical knowledge in context. This helps cultivate a mindset geared towards problem-solving and encourages them to approach challenges with curiosity and persistence.

Additionally, these experiences foster a positive attitude toward math from a young age—making it feel less like a chore and more like an enjoyable challenge. Parents and teachers play a vital role in guiding these practical applications through discussions, games, and activities that highlight the importance of addition and subtraction in everyday situations, reinforcing learning in a supportive and engaging manner.
