Number comprehension, particularly focused on addition and subtraction word problems, is crucial for children aged 5-7 for several reasons. First, it enhances cognitive development, encouraging children to think critically and apply their mathematical skills to real-world situations. When children learn to interpret and solve word problems, they develop the ability to understand the context of a situation, which involves reading comprehension and logical reasoning.

Additionally, mastering these concepts at an early age lays a strong foundation for future mathematics learning. Word problems bridge the gap between abstract numbers and practical application, making math feel relevant and engaging. This skill also promotes language development, as children learn to articulate their thought processes and employ mathematical vocabulary.

Moreover, parents and teachers who prioritize this aspect of education support emotional and social development. As children encounter challenges in problem-solving, they learn resilience and perseverance, which are important life skills. Moreover, proficient understanding of addition and subtraction boosts confidence in math, diminishing the fear of failure associated with the subject.

In summary, fostering number comprehension in word problems equips young learners with essential skills that are fundamental to their overall academic and personal growth.
