Parents and teachers should prioritize practicing easy addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 5-7 because these foundational skills form the bedrock of their future mathematical understanding. Mastery of basic arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction enhances cognitive development, including memory, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

At this developmental stage, children are honing their ability to recognize numbers and perform fundamental calculations. Word problems add an extra layer of comprehension by embedding math questions in real-world contexts, which helps young learners understand the practical applications of math. This contextual learning boosts their engagement and makes abstract concepts more concrete and relatable.

Moreover, success in math fosters a child's self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Early difficulty with arithmetic can lead to math anxiety, which might persist and expand to other subjects as they progress academically. Providing ample practice in a playful yet structured manner, such as through interactive activities or simple story problems, helps eliminate fears and build competence.

Collaborative efforts between parents and teachers ensure consistent learning environments, reinforcing these skills both at home and in school. Demonstrating the importance of addition and subtraction word problems during their formative years lays a strong foundation for their analytical and numerical competence in more advanced math coursework and everyday problem-solving.
