Parents and teachers should prioritize basic math operations and word problems for children aged 6-7 because these skills lay the foundation for all future mathematics learning. At this age, children are developing critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and logical reasoning skills that are essential not just in math but in everyday life. Word problems teach them how to interpret and translate real-world situations into mathematical expressions, improving both their comprehension and application skills.

Additionally, engaging with word problems fosters a growth mindset by inviting children to see challenges as opportunities for learning, rather than obstacles. It enhances language skills, as they learn to analyze and verbalize mathematical scenarios. Encouraging multi-step problem-solving cultivates persistence and resilience in young learners.

Moreover, approaching math through the lens of storytelling can spark their natural curiosity and creativity, making learning more enjoyable. This positive association with math can diminish anxiety around the subject in their later schooling. By helping children develop a strong mathematical foundation through basic operations and word problems now, parents and teachers are setting them up for greater academic success and increased confidence as they progress through their educational journey.
