Parents and teachers should prioritize developing basic addition and subtraction skills for children aged 6-7 because these are foundational mathematical concepts essential for future academic success. At this critical stage, young children are developing cognitive abilities that shape their understanding of numbers, patterns, and problem-solving techniques. Mastering the basics of addition and subtraction enhances their confidence and sets a solid groundwork for more advanced mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, fractions, and algebra.

Basic addition and subtraction are not just academic necessities; they also have broad applicability in daily life. Children frequently encounter situations that require these skills, such as counting objects, distributing items equally, or understanding time and money. By gaining proficiency, children develop logical reasoning and critical thinking, which further boosts their comprehension and performance in other subjects as well.
