Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching basic addition and subtraction word problems to children aged 3-6 because it lays a critical foundation for mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills. At this developmental stage, children are naturally curious and eager to learn, making it an ideal time to introduce these concepts. Engaging with word problems helps them to apply mathematical ideas in real-life contexts, fostering their ability to think critically and logically.

Additionally, solving word problems enhances language development as children learn to decode the language of math, identify key information, and formulate solutions. This skills integration not only builds numeracy but also supports literacy development, as they read and comprehend simple problems.

Moreover, engaging in these activities promotes cognitive skills such as reasoning and understanding relationships between quantities—fundamental concepts in mathematics. When children encounter challenges in this area, they also learn resilience and perseverance while building confidence in their abilities to tackle complex tasks.

Finally, developing a strong grasp of basic addition and subtraction word problems sets the stage for more advanced mathematical concepts in later years. By prioritizing this aspect of early education, parents and teachers help shape confident, competent future learners.
