Practicing mental arithmetic, particularly addition and subtraction, is crucial for children aged 3-8 for several reasons. During these formative years, children's brains are exceptionally receptive to new information, making it an ideal time to build foundational math skills. Mastering mental arithmetic fosters a deep understanding of numbers and enhances problem-solving abilities, which are vital for everyday tasks and advanced mathematics in later years.

Moreover, mental arithmetic helps to develop cognitive skills. It requires children to engage their memory and processing abilities, promoting quicker thinking and improving focus. This practice also boosts confidence, as children gain a sense of accomplishment when they can easily perform calculations without external aids.

Additionally, mental arithmetic nurtures a positive attitude towards math, countering the anxiety and resistance often associated with the subject. When children feel competent in basic calculations, they are more likely to embrace more complex mathematical concepts as they progress through their education. Furthermore, these skills can facilitate better performance in school, contributing to overall academic success and a lifelong enjoyment of learning. Consequently, both parents and teachers play a pivotal role in encouraging and supporting mental arithmetic practice at this critical stage.
