Parents and teachers should care about solving word problems for ages 5-9 because these activities are fundamental in developing crucial cognitive and life skills in children. Word problems blend reading comprehension with mathematical concepts, fostering both language and analytical thinking. For young learners, this dual engagement supports more holistic brain development.

Firstly, solving word problems aids in understanding real-world applications of mathematics. Rather than seeing numbers as abstract concepts, children contextualize them within everyday situations, enhancing their problem-solving abilities and practical thinking.

Secondly, these exercises improve reading comprehension skills. Children need to sort through text, identify relevant information, and discard extraneous details, strengthening their ability to understand and analyze written material.

Thirdly, tackling word problems boosts critical thinking and reasoning. Young children learn to decide which mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) will help them achieve a solution, developing their strategic and logical reasoning skills.

Additionally, early success in these problems nurtures confidence in math. Building a solid foundation in problem-solving at an early age can decrease math anxiety and promote enthusiasm for the subject.

By incorporating word problems into the learning process, parents and teachers set the stage for a child's future academic success and everyday competency.
