Parents and teachers should prioritize addition and subtraction skills, particularly through word problems, for children ages 7-8, as these concepts are foundational for future mathematical learning. During this developmental stage, children are transitioning from concrete to abstract thinking, making it essential to build their problem-solving abilities. Word problems encourage them to apply their math skills in real-life contexts, enhancing their critical thinking and reasoning.

Additionally, mastering addition and subtraction through word problems strengthens their comprehension and communication skills. It helps students develop the ability to interpret questions, identify relevant information, and organize their thoughts before arriving at a solution. These skills are not only applicable in math but are vital across all subjects.

Furthermore, proficiency in these operations boosts children's confidence as they tackle more complex math concepts in later grades. As parents and educators nurture these abilities, they equip the child not just with mathematical skills but also with resilience and perseverance in problem-solving. Ultimately, focusing on addition and subtraction word problems empowers children to become confident learners, preparing them for academic success and fostering a positive attitude towards mathematics.
