Parents and teachers should prioritize Basic Arithmetic Normal Word Problems for children aged 3-6 because these foundational skills lay the groundwork for future mathematical understanding. At this formative stage, children are naturally curious and eager to explore concepts, making it an ideal time to introduce arithmetic in a playful and relatable way through word problems.

Engaging with word problems helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as they learn to decode language, identify relevant information, and determine mathematical operations. This process not only builds numeracy skills but also enhances literacy, as children must understand the narratives imbued in the problems.

Additionally, word problems encourage children to make connections between math and the real world. By involving relatable scenarios—such as sharing toys or counting fruit—children see the practicality of arithmetic, fostering a positive attitude towards math. Early exposure to this type of problem-solving creates a strong mathematical foundation, increases confidence, and promotes a lifelong love of learning. As a result, investing time in these activities is crucial for parents and educators aiming to equip young learners with essential skills for future academic success and daily problem-solving later in life.
