Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching basic addition and subtraction word problems to children ages 4-6 as it lays the foundation for their future mathematical understanding and cognitive development. At this young age, children are highly receptive to learning new concepts, and engaging with simple math challenges in the form of word problems can significantly enhance their problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities. Word problems help children connect mathematics to real-life situations, making math more meaningful and less abstract. This contextual learning experience encourages active learning and helps children see the relevance of mathematics in everyday activities.

Early exposure to addition and subtraction also promotes a child’s numerical fluency and the ability to perform mental calculations, which are essential skills across all levels of schooling and beyond. Moreover, solving word problems aids in the development of literacy skills as children have to read, comprehend, and process the problem statement before attempting a solution. It reinforces language development and improves their ability to follow instructions, reason logically, and communicate effectively. Therefore, focusing on these foundational skills ensures that children are well-prepared for more advanced mathematical concepts and academic challenges, fostering a positive and confident attitude towards learning.
