Parents and teachers should prioritize basic math operations and word problems for children aged 7-8 because this foundational skill is vital for a child's cognitive development. At this age, children are developing their ability to think critically and solve problems, and word problems serve as an excellent bridge between abstract mathematics and real-world applications. Engaging with these problems fosters comprehension skills, allowing children to interpret and analyze information effectively.

Furthermore, math at this stage helps build confidence and resilience. Encountering challenges in word problems encourages kids to think creatively, approach situations from different angles, and develop persistence when faced with difficulties. It enhances their reasoning ability and improves their understanding of mathematical concepts, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Incorporating word problems into daily learning also reinforces reading comprehension. Children must decode the language and extract meaningful information, thus enriching both their literacy and numeracy skills. This multifaceted approach to learning ensures that children are not only better prepared for advanced mathematics but also equipped with problem-solving tools applicable across various disciplines in their future education. Investing time in these skills now lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning and confidence in mathematical abilities.
