Teaching children ages 4-9 to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, these skills are foundational to early math literacy, helping children build a strong understanding of basic arithmetic. This understanding is not only essential for future math courses but also for everyday life, as math is used in countless real-world situations.

Word problems, in particular, foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They require children to read with comprehension, dissect the problem, determine what operations to perform, and then carry out the calculations correctly. This process helps develop a child's ability to think logically and sequentially.

Moreover, practicing word problems improves a child's language skills alongside their numerical abilities. It helps them learn to articulate their thought processes and enhances their ability to explain how they arrived at a solution. This skill is vital for collaborative work and classrooms discussions.

Additionally, early proficiency in these areas can boost a child's confidence and interest in math, making them more likely to enjoy and excel in the subject later. Therefore, investing time and effort into teaching children how to solve addition and subtraction word problems lays a solid foundation for their future academic and personal success.
