Parents and teachers should care about teaching problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction word problems to children aged 6-7 because these skills lay the foundation for mathematical understanding and critical thinking. At this age, children are developing the ability to reason through problems, and word problems challenge them to apply their mathematical knowledge in real-world contexts.

Understanding how to interpret and solve word problems helps children make connections between numbers and their meanings, enhancing their number sense. They learn to read carefully, analyze information, and strategize the best approach to find solutions. This fosters independence and resilience, as children learn that setbacks can lead to successful problem-solving methods.

Furthermore, problem-solving encourages language development and comprehension skills, as students must understand the wording and context of the problems. These activities cultivate critical thinking and reasoning skills that are essential not just in math, but across all subjects.

Promoting skill development in this area can spark a lifelong interest in math, prepare children for more advanced concepts, and equip them with tools to navigate daily life challenges. Overall, learning to solve addition and subtraction word problems is vital for academic success and personal growth.
