Parents and teachers should focus on basic math skills and addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 7-8 years because these form the foundation of numeracy and everyday problem-solving skills. At this stage, children typically transition from simple counting to understanding the actual applications of math in real-world scenarios. Cultivating strong basic math skills early on enables children to build confidence and reduces math anxiety, which can negatively impact their overall academic performance and future job opportunities.

Learning how to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction is particularly important because it encourages critical thinking and comprehension in young learners. They get exposed to applying math in diverse, tangible situations, aiding in the development of practical life skills. Moreover, these exercises bolster their reading and comprehension abilities, as word problems require careful interpretation of the scenario before coming up with a solution.

Additionally, consistent practice in this area fosters resilience and persistence in the face of challenges and helps develop logical reasoning and decision-making skills, pivotal in their overall intellectual growth. Therefore, by ensuring mastery in basic math at an early age, parents and teachers set children on a path to academic competence and real-life problem-solving capabilities.
