Parents and teachers should prioritize basic math skills and normal addition and subtraction word problems for 9-year-olds because these foundational skills form the critical building blocks for future mathematical learning and everyday problem-solving. At this age, students are developing their ability to understand and manipulate numbers, which is essential for their academic success in higher grades.

Firstly, mastering basic addition and subtraction ensures that children can perform more complex mathematical operations with confidence as they progress to topics such as multiplication, division, fractions, and later algebra. Word problems, in particular, enhance their ability to interpret real-world situations, applying mathematical thinking to solve practical problems. This crossover between math and daily life enhances their analytical and critical thinking skills, which are valuable in all areas of life.

Secondly, consistently solving these problems helps improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and logical reasoning. It provides kids with strategies to break down problems into manageable steps and think methodically, fostering persistence and resilience.

Moreover, success in math boosts students' self-esteem and reinforces a positive attitude towards learning. By supporting their mathematical journey early on, parents and teachers lay a strong educational foundation, ensuring children are well-equipped for advanced studies and real-life challenges.
