Parents and teachers should prioritize addition and subtraction skills in Grade 2 because they form the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts in later grades. Mastering these skills fosters critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in students as they tackle new challenges. Word problems, in particular, are vital as they develop students' abilities to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations, enhancing their reasoning and analytical skills.

Moreover, early proficiency in basic arithmetic supports students' performance in other subjects that inherently connect with mathematics, such as science and economics. These problem-solving skills help children understand mathematical language, improving their overall communication and literacy skills.

Additionally, strong addition and subtraction skills can reduce math anxiety, leading to a more positive attitude toward the subject. Engaging students in fun yet challenging word problems can promote a love for learning, motivating them to explore mathematics further.

By investing time and resources into reinforcing these foundational skills, parents and teachers alike empower students to achieve long-term academic success, ultimately nurturing a future generation of confident learners prepared to meet academic challenges head-on.
