Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving practice in addition and subtraction for children ages 5-7 because this foundational skill set is crucial for students’ overall academic success and cognitive development. At this stage, children are beginning to understand mathematical concepts, and effective problem-solving promotes critical thinking and reasoning abilities. Engaging in problem-solving helps children visualize and conceptualize numbers, fostering their capacities to manipulate figures in their minds.

Moreover, these skills are not just about numbers; they enhance perseverance and resilience. When children encounter challenging problems and learn to strategize and explore multiple solutions, they develop a “growth mindset”—a belief that their abilities can improve through effort and learning. This attitude positively influences their approach to difficulties in other subjects and in life.

Furthermore, consistent problem-solving practice in addition and subtraction supports fluency. Young learners who are comfortable with basic arithmetic can transition more readily to higher-level concepts, such as multiplication and division, and their confidence in math expands.

Incorporating problem-solving exercises equips children with essential life skills, including logical reasoning and effective communication. Ultimately, attention to these practices lays a solid groundwork for their future learning experiences and fosters a lasting appreciation for mathematics.
