Parents and teachers should prioritize basic arithmetic addition and subtraction word problems for 7-year-olds because these foundational skills are critical to a child's academic and real-world success. At this age, children's brains are highly receptive to learning numerical concepts, and mastering these early math skills sets the stage for more complex mathematical understanding in the future.

Word problems, in particular, help children develop a range of crucial skills. They encourage critical thinking and problem-solving, as children must decipher the language of the problem and determine the appropriate operation to use. This thinking promotes logical reasoning and boosts cognitive development. Furthermore, word problems often involve real-world scenarios, making math relevant and practical. This not only enhances engagement and interest in mathematical tasks but also helps children see the value of math in everyday life situations, such as shopping or sharing.

Moreover, success in early math can boost a child's confidence and interest in the subject, paving the way for continued academic success. Struggles in basic math can lead to anxiety and avoidance, affecting performance not only in mathematics but across other subjects where numerical skills are relevant. Therefore, supporting young learners in mastering addition and subtraction word problems is essential for their overall development, future academic success, and everyday life skills.
