Parents and teachers should emphasize the development of addition and subtraction skills in children aged 3-7 because these foundational arithmetic abilities are crucial for their overall cognitive and academic growth. At this age, children are highly receptive to new concepts, and learning basic math operations like addition and subtraction helps stimulate their brain, enhancing memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.

Introducing normal addition and subtraction word problems provides an extra layer of learning that benefits young minds by employing real-world contexts. This contextual learning helps children understand how math applies to their everyday lives, making abstract concepts easier to grasp and more meaningful. Word problems also encourage critical thinking and comprehension since children must discern relevant information and determine the steps needed to arrive at the correct solution.

Mastering these skills early on sets a solid arithmetic foundation, critical for more advanced mathematical concepts they will encounter in their educational journey. Furthermore, success in early math experiences fosters a positive attitude toward the subject, promoting self-confidence and a willingness to tackle more challenging problems later. By supporting children in acquiring these essential skills, parents and teachers can contribute to their holistic development, ensuring a strong start in their academic lives.
