Addition and subtraction skills are foundational for children aged 7-9, as they support not only future academic success but also everyday problem-solving abilities. At this age, children begin encountering more complex word problems that require critical thinking and comprehension. Mastery of normal addition and subtraction allows them to interpret problems accurately and determine the best strategies to find solutions.

Parents and teachers should care about these skills because they contribute significantly to a child's confidence and independence in math. Proficient addition and subtraction help students build a strong mathematical foundation, enabling them to tackle more challenging concepts such as multiplication, division, and fractions in later grades. Moreover, these skills foster cognitive development, enhancing analytical and reasoning abilities while improving language skills through the comprehension of word problems.

Supporting children in developing these skills can also impact their overall attitudes toward math. Early intervention can prevent math anxiety and build resilience, encouraging a growth mindset. By prioritizing addition and subtraction word problems, educators and parents can inspire curiosity in mathematics, leading to a lifetime appreciation and mastery of the subject. In turn, this empowers children to approach real-world scenarios with confidence, reinforcing the relevance of math in their daily lives.
