Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching basic arithmetic skills and word problems to children aged 6-7 because these formative years are crucial for cognitive development and laying the groundwork for future academic success. At this age, children are naturally curious and ready to grasp fundamental concepts. Introducing them to arithmetic word problems early helps them develop problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and critical thinking abilities.

Basic arithmetic provides the core foundation for all future mathematical learning. By embodying these concepts in word problems, children learn to apply math to everyday situations. This instills not just abstract numerical knowledge, but also practical skills like understanding time, money, and measurement, which are crucial for daily life.

Moreover, tackling word problems enhances children's reading comprehension and language skills. They learn to decode a problem, identify relevant information, and articulate their thoughts—skills that transcend math and enhance overall cognitive development.

Additionally, success in solving these problems boosts children's confidence and fosters a positive attitude towards math. Early proficiency in basic arithmetic creates a strong math foundation, reducing math anxiety and building resilience for more complex topics in higher grades. Thus, a focus on arithmetic word problems equips children with essential life skills and sets them on a path for long-term academic success.
