Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of problem-solving abilities through addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 4-5 because these skills form the foundation for early mathematical understanding. At this developmental stage, children are beginning to grasp the concept of numbers and how they relate to each other. Engaging them with practical problems enhances their numerical fluency and makes math relatable.

Solving word problems requires kids to interpret and analyze everyday situations, encouraging them to think critically and make connections between mathematical operations and real-life contexts. This nurtures their cognitive abilities and improves comprehension skills, crucial for future academic success. Additionally, these early math experiences can build a positive attitude toward learning and problem-solving, fostering a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

Furthermore, developing problem-solving skills helps children cultivate persistence and patience, essential life skills that aid in overcoming challenges. It also allows parents and teachers to recognize individual learning styles and needs, providing tailored support to optimize each child's potential. By integrating addition and subtraction word problems into early learning, parents and teachers lay a strong, versatile foundation, setting children on a path toward mathematical literacy and lifelong learning.
