Parents and teachers should care about number comprehension and addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 7-9 because these skills are fundamental building blocks for future math success and essential life skills. At this stage, children transition from simple number recognition to understanding how numbers interact in practical scenarios, which deepens their mathematical reasoning and critical thinking abilities.

Word problems are particularly impactful as they bridge the gap between theoretical math and real-world applications. They prompt children to parse textual information, determine relevant numerical operations, and apply appropriate strategies to find solutions. This process enhances not only their arithmetic skills but also their reading comprehension, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

Moreover, mastering these concepts boosts children's confidence and fosters a positive attitude towards math, which is crucial for their continued interest and success in more advanced topics. Teachers and parents play a pivotal role in offering supportive environments and appropriate challenges that can cultivate these skills. Consistent practice with word problems helps children recognize patterns, develop persistence, and improve their ability to approach unfamiliar situations logically.

In essence, focusing on number comprehension and solving addition and subtraction word problems equips children with vital cognitive tools, ensuring a solid foundation for their future educational endeavors and everyday life scenarios.
