Subtraction practice, alongside addition, is essential for young learners aged 3-6 as it lays the foundation for their mathematical understanding. Children at this age are beginning to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By working on addition and subtraction word problems, they learn to apply mathematical concepts in real-life situations, which enhances their comprehension and retention.

Furthermore, this practice nurtures cognitive development, helping children grasp the concepts of "taking away" and "comparison," which are fundamental in daily activities. It encourages logical reasoning and cultivates endurance in overcoming challenges, as children often learn through trial-and-error.

These exercises also support language development as children learn to express their mathematical thought processes verbally or through writing. Parents and teachers play a crucial role by guiding discussions and promoting a positive attitude toward math. Engaging in these types of problems fosters a collaborative learning environment, where children feel supported and confident.

Ultimately, consistent practice of addition and subtraction through word problems encourages a strong mathematical foundation, equipping children with essential skills for future academic success and everyday situations. By emphasizing this practice, caregivers help nurture well-rounded, confident learners who embrace mathematics as an integral part of their lives.
