Parents and teachers should prioritize real-life application of addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 7-9 because these skills are foundational for both academic success and everyday life. Real-life word problems help children connect mathematical concepts to their daily experiences, making learning more relevant and engaging. When students encounter word problems that reflect real-world situations, they begin to understand that math is not just an abstract subject but a vital tool for problem-solving in various scenarios, from budgeting allowance to measuring ingredients for a recipe.

Additionally, working through these problems enhances critical thinking and reasoning skills. Children learn to analyze situations, identify relevant information, and determine the steps needed to reach a solution. This analytical process fosters independence and confidence in their capabilities. Moreover, as students discuss these concepts with peers, parents, or teachers, they develop essential communication skills and an ability to collaborate effectively.

Cultivating a strong grounding in mathematical operations through real-life contexts equips children with the tools they need to navigate challenges both in school and future life scenarios. Ultimately, this approach encourages a positive attitude towards learning and instills a lifelong appreciation for mathematics as an essential life skill.
