Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching children ages 6-9 how to solve word problems because this skill forms a crucial foundation for mathematical understanding and critical thinking. Word problems require children to analyze real-life situations, encouraging them to apply their mathematical knowledge in practical contexts. This not only cultivates problem-solving skills but also enhances their ability to think critically and reason logically.

In this developmental stage, students learn to connect abstract concepts with tangible scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of math. It trains them to decode language into numerical expressions, thus improving their reading comprehension and communication skills.

Additionally, solving word problems fosters persistence and resilience as children learn to approach challenges methodically, practicing patience in working through their thought processes in finding solutions. These skills translate beyond the classroom, preparing children for future academic endeavors and everyday life situations.

Finally, confidence gains through mastering word problems can positively impact children's overall attitude toward math, encouraging a lifelong love for learning. By supporting students in this area, parents and teachers equip them with essential life skills that will benefit them far beyond their elementary education.
