Number comprehension, particularly through addition and subtraction word problems, is crucial for children aged 7-8 because it lays the foundation for their overall mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills. At this developmental stage, students transition from concrete to more abstract thinking, making it the ideal time to introduce real-life applications of basic arithmetic.

Word problems help children recognize numbers within different contexts, allowing them to apply mathematical concepts to situations they can relate to and understand. This enhances their ability to think critically and logically.

Practicing word problems also promotes reading comprehension and improves their ability to follow multi-step instructions. As children dissect the problem, they enhance their ability to identify relevant information, differentiate between what's given and what needs to be found, and develop strategies for solving the task.

Moreover, successfully solving these problems builds confidence in their mathematical abilities, fostering a positive attitude towards math. Confidence and competence in early math are predictors of future academic achievement, including more advanced mathematics and other disciplines requiring analytical thinking.

Therefore, focusing on number comprehension through addition and subtraction word problems empowers children with essential life skills: critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to relate abstract numbers to experiences, forming a strong groundwork for future educational success.
