Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching children ages 6-8 to solve addition and subtraction word problems because these skills are foundational for their overall mathematical development and problem-solving abilities. At this age, children are solidifying their understanding of basic arithmetic and beginning to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations.

Solving word problems helps children to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. It requires them to read and comprehend the problem, identify the relevant information, decide which operations to use, and carry out the necessary calculations. These steps not only enhance their mathematical abilities but also improve their reading comprehension and logical reasoning skills.

Moreover, addition and subtraction are integral parts of more complex mathematical operations they will encounter later, such as multiplication, division, and fractions. Early mastery of these fundamentals sets a solid foundation for future learning in mathematics.

Furthermore, word problems often present scenarios that children can relate to, which helps them to see the practical applications of math in everyday life. This makes learning more engaging and meaningful, fostering a positive attitude towards math. Consequently, parents and teachers play a crucial role in guiding children through word problems, building confidence, and promoting lifelong skills in numeracy and problem-solving.
