Parents and teachers should care about problem-solving in normal addition and subtraction for children ages 5-7 because this foundational skill is critical for children's cognitive development and future academic success. At this age, children are starting to develop their mathematical understanding and critical thinking abilities. Engaging them in problem-solving activities in addition and subtraction helps them make connections between numbers and real-world situations, promoting a deeper comprehension of mathematics.

Additionally, problem-solving encourages curiosity, perseverance, and analytical skills, which are essential not only in math but in everyday life. When children learn to break down problems and work through different strategies, they develop resilience and a growth mindset, crucial traits for overcoming challenges.

Moreover, mathematical fluency at this young age supports later learning in more complex math concepts. By fostering an environment that values problem-solving, parents and teachers help instill a love for learning and an appreciation for mathematics that can last a lifetime. Therefore, prioritizing these skills in the curriculum and daily interactions can have profound long-term effects on children's educational journeys and overall confidence in their abilities.
