Parents and teachers should prioritize basic math operations—addition and subtraction—and word problems for children aged 7-9 due to their foundational role in developing critical cognitive skills. At these ages, children are at a prime stage for honing numerical understanding and problem-solving abilities. Addition and subtraction are not just fundamental operations but also the building blocks for more complex math concepts encountered later in education, such as multiplication, division, and fractions.

Handling word problems specifically enhances a child's ability to translate real-world situations into mathematical expressions, fostering critical thinking and analytical skills. By interpreting word problems, children learn to discern relevant information, identify relationships between quantities, and develop logical reasoning. These skills are crucial, not only in math but across subjects and in everyday life.

Moreover, success in early math education boosts confidence and encourages a positive attitude toward learning as a whole, setting children up for long-term academic success. Early mastery of addition and subtraction through engaging word problems equips children with the tools they need to navigate increasingly complex tasks, ensuring they are not only prepared for future educational challenges but also well-rounded thinkers.
