Parents and teachers should care about basic math operations, such as addition and subtraction word problems, for ages 5 to 7 because these foundational skills are crucial for a child's overall cognitive development and future academic success. Addition and subtraction are core mathematical concepts that form the building blocks for more advanced math topics. By solving word problems, children learn to apply these basic operations in real-life situations, enhancing their problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

At this developmental stage, engaging with word problems also helps children improve their reading comprehension, as they need to understand and interpret the problem's context to solve it correctly. This dual focus supports literacies in both math and language, promoting a well-rounded educational experience. Moreover, working through these problems can boost a child's confidence and foster a positive attitude toward math, which is essential for their willingness to tackle more complex subjects in the future.

Introducing addition and subtraction word problems early on can also help identify and address any difficulties a child might be having, allowing for timely intervention and support. Therefore, prioritizing these foundational skills equips children with the tools they need, not just for academic success but for practical, everyday problem-solving.
