Parents and teachers should prioritize basic arithmetic skills, particularly addition and subtraction word problems, for children aged 6-7 as these form the cornerstone of mathematical comprehension crucial for academic success and daily problem-solving. During these formative years, children develop foundational number sense, which involves understanding numbers, their relationships, and how they are manipulated. Enhancing arithmetic skills through word problems not only boosts their computational fluency but also nurtures critical thinking and reasoning abilities.

Word problems merge literacy and numeracy, helping students contextualize arithmetic in real-life situations. This contextual learning fosters engagement, making mathematics relatable and less abstract. Moreover, tackling word problems encourages students to read carefully, interpret data, and determine the correct operations, honing both their analytical and comprehension skills.

For parents, supporting their child’s learning journey in arithmetic cultivates a collaborative and nurturing environment for growth. For teachers, emphasizing these skills meets educational standards while preparing students for more complex mathematical concepts in later grades. Addressing gaps in proficiency early mitigates future learning difficulties, promoting confidence and a positive attitude towards math.

Overall, competency in basic arithmetic word problems empowers children with essential life skills, setting a strong educational foundation that supports their broader learning and development journey.
