Parents and teachers should care about basic arithmetic, particularly grade 1 addition and subtraction word problems, as these foundational skills are critical for a child's cognitive development. Word problems encourage children to engage in critical thinking and problem-solving, helping them to understand mathematical concepts in real-world contexts. This application of mathematics promotes comprehension, making math relatable and enjoyable.

Furthermore, mastering addition and subtraction is essential not only for academic success but also for everyday situations. Children encountering these operations early on are more likely to experience confidence in their math abilities, fostering a positive attitude toward learning. Developing a strong grasp of basic arithmetic lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical ideas in later grades.

Involving parents in their child's learning can further enhance understanding. They can engage in conversations about problem-solving methods or create practical math-related activities at home, reinforcing what children learn in school. Ultimately, focusing on these skills helps build a strong mathematical foundation, essential for a child’s future learning and success in various aspects of life. Therefore, awareness and involvement from parents and teachers are crucial in nurturing a supportive educational environment for young learners.
