At this age, children are eager to learn and are developing their cognitive abilities. Engaging them with word problems enhances critical thinking skills, encourages active problem-solving, and fosters a love for math.

Understanding word problems helps children connect abstract numbers to real-life situations, making mathematics more relevant and meaningful.
