Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching addition and subtraction word problems to children aged 7-9 because it builds a foundation for essential math skills and critical thinking. At this developmental stage, children are beginning to understand mathematical concepts more concretely, and word problems help translate these abstract ideas into real-world scenarios. By solving word problems, students not only practice basic arithmetic but also learn to apply these skills in various situations, enhancing their problem-solving abilities.

Furthermore, word problems often integrate reading comprehension skills. Students must read the problem closely to understand what is being asked, which increases their literacy and attention to detail. This dual skill-building can improve overall academic performance and prepares children for more complex subjects in later grades.

Engaging in word problems also stimulates cognitive development and encourages perseverance. As children decipher and solve these problems, they learn logical sequencing, improved analytical thinking, and the satisfaction that comes from overcoming challenges. These skills are not limited to math but are transferable to everyday decision-making and future educational pursuits.

Ultimately, nurturing proficiency in addition and subtraction word problems equips children with a robust toolkit for academic success and lifelong learning, making it a crucial element of early education.
