Parents and teachers should care about math problem-solving, particularly addition and subtraction, for children aged 6-8 because these foundational skills are crucial for overall academic success and cognitive development. At this age, children transition from concrete to more abstract reasoning, and strong problem-solving abilities help them internalize mathematical concepts.

Addition and subtraction are not only essential arithmetic skills, but they also lay the groundwork for more complex math, such as multiplication, division, and algebra. Proficient problem-solving encourages logical thinking and enhances a child's ability to approach problems in various contexts, including real-life situations.

Furthermore, learning to solve math problems can boost a child’s confidence. Mastery in these areas contributes to a positive attitude towards mathematics, reducing anxiety often associated with the subject. Engaging in problem-solving cultivates perseverance and resilience as children learn to tackle challenges and find solutions.

Moreover, these skills foster collaboration and communication when children work together or discuss methods of solving problems. Overall, encouraging math problem-solving in addition and subtraction for young learners equips them with essential tools for future learning and helps shape critical life skills.
