Cognitive development in children aged 5-9 is crucial as it lays the foundation for their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Word problems serve as a significant educational tool during this stage, bridging the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and real-life applications. Engaging with word problems helps children improve their comprehension and language skills, as they must decode the text, identify relevant information, and devise a strategy to solve the problem.

Parents and teachers should care because these skills are integral to lifelong learning and success. Fostering a child’s ability to tackle word problems enhances not only their mathematical abilities but also their cognitive flexibility—supporting them in adapting to new problems and challenges. Additionally, engaging children in this cognitive activity promotes perseverance and resilience, as they learn to approach problems methodically and persist through challenges.

Furthermore, collaborative discussions around word problems encourage social skills and confidence in expressing thoughts and ideas. By prioritizing cognitive development through structured activities like word problems, parents and teachers contribute to well-rounded, capable individuals ready to face complex tasks in both academic and everyday situations. In essence, investing time in understanding and solving word problems equips children with essential life skills.
