Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching basic addition and subtraction word problems to children aged 6-7 because these problems are vital for their academic and cognitive development. First, mastering simple arithmetic lays the fundamental groundwork for all future math topics, including multiplication, division, and more complex problem-solving. At this age, children are developing their number sense, an intuitive understanding of numbers and their relationships, which is essential for proficiency in mathematics.

Secondly, word problems not only develop numerical skills but also enhance reading comprehension and cognitive development. They require students to read, comprehend, and then translate textual information into mathematical questions, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This multifaceted approach hones their ability to interpret real-world situations mathematically.

Furthermore, successfully solving these problems boosts children’s confidence and encourages a positive attitude towards math. Early successes and understanding reduce math anxiety and build a strong foundation for a lifelong appreciation of learning.

Moreover, practical competencies in basic math are essential for everyday life, such as managing money or telling time, fostering greater independence and confidence in young learners. For these reasons, parents and teachers should make it a priority to guide children through basic addition and subtraction word problems at this crucial age.
