Parents and teachers should prioritize math problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction for 6-year-olds because these foundational skills are crucial for a child's overall development in mathematics and beyond. Mastering addition and subtraction enhances young learners' ability to think critically and develop logical reasoning skills, which are essential for everyday problem-solving.

Furthermore, these skills lay the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts such as multiplication, division, and even early algebra as children progress through their education. Proficiency in basic math not only supports academic success but also builds confidence in a child's ability to tackle challenges.

Additionally, math problem-solving encourages a growth mindset, helping children understand that perseverance through difficulties leads to improvement. As they practice solving problems, children develop resilience and adaptability—qualities necessary for both academic and personal life.

Involving parents through interactive activities reinforces learning at home and fosters a positive attitude towards math. By caring about their child’s math problem-solving abilities, parents and teachers can promote a strong mathematical foundation, ultimately contributing to the child's future success in a world where numeracy skills are increasingly important.
