Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of addition and subtraction skills in children aged 3-4 because these foundational math concepts set the stage for future academic success. At this early age, children are naturally curious and eager to learn, making it an ideal time to introduce basic math through engaging activities. Normal addition and subtraction word problems not only enhance cognitive skills but also improve critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Moreover, these early math skills are crucial in fostering a child's confidence in their abilities. When children can successfully solve simple math problems, they develop a sense of accomplishment that encourages them to tackle more complex challenges in the future. This early exposure to math helps to demystify the subject, making it less intimidating as they progress through their education.

Incorporating real-life scenarios into word problems makes learning relevant and meaningful. For instance, using toys or snacks to represent addition and subtraction helps children understand these concepts in a fun and relatable way. Ultimately, strengthening addition and subtraction skills during this formative period supports overall cognitive development and prepares children for more advanced math concepts they will encounter in school.
