Parents and teachers should care about mental arithmetic for children aged 4-5 because early exposure to this skill can foster significant cognitive and academic benefits. Mental arithmetic, or the process of performing calculations in the mind without using tools, enhances numerical fluency, which lays a foundational understanding of numbers and mathematical concepts. For young children, developing mental arithmetic skills encourages critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, pivotal for their overall learning journey.

Incorporating mental arithmetic at this early stage supports the development of memory, attention, and the ability to process information quickly and accurately. These skills are not only relevant to math but also contribute to success in other academic areas. Mental arithmetic promotes confidence in handling numbers, reducing math anxiety, and creating a positive attitude towards learning math as children grow.

Moreover, engaging in mental arithmetic activities can be fun and interactive, involving games, puzzles, and everyday scenarios, which can enhance their social interactions and communication skills. For parents and teachers, fostering an environment that encourages the development of these skills ensures that children are well-prepared for more complex mathematical tasks, setting a solid foundation for future academic achievement and critical life skills.
