Problem-solving abilities, particularly in addition and subtraction word problems, are crucial for children aged 5-6 as they lay the groundwork for future mathematical understanding. At this early developmental stage, engaging with word problems fosters critical thinking, comprehension skills, and the ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations.

Parents and teachers should pay attention to this aspect of learning because it encourages children to think beyond simple calculations. By deciphering word problems, children learn to analyze information, identify relevant details, and formulate solutions, skills that are applicable in various contexts outside of mathematics.

Moreover, mastering these problem-solving abilities supports confidence in young learners. When children successfully tackle word problems, they not only grasp basic addition and subtraction but also learn resilience and perseverance through challenges.

In today's increasingly complex world, early mathematical skills are pre-requisites for academic success in both primary and advanced education. By nurturing these abilities in early learners, parents and teachers will help cultivate a generation of confident problem solvers, equipped to navigate both math and complex life scenarios with ease and creativity.
