Parents and teachers should care about basic math skills in preschool, especially when it comes to word problems, for several essential reasons. Firstly, developing a strong foundation in math during early childhood fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Word problems not only involve numbers but also require children to comprehend language, which promotes reading and comprehension development.

Additionally, engaging with word problems helps children learn to visualize situations and recognize mathematical concepts in real life. For instance, when a child hears a story about sharing fruit, they begin to understand addition and subtraction naturally and contextually.

Moreover, mastering basic math skills at this stage equips children with the confidence they need to tackle more complex mathematical concepts in the future. This sets the groundwork for successful learning throughout their academic journey.

Finally, early exposure to mathematical thinking encourages a positive attitude towards math, reducing anxiety later in school, a subject that often causes fear. By emphasizing basic math skills and word problem comprehension, parents and teachers help cultivate a love for learning, laying the groundwork for lifelong skills that extend beyond the classroom.
