Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math practice, especially addition, for children aged 4-7 because it lays the foundation for their numerical and cognitive development. During these formative years, young minds are highly receptive to new information, and mental math fosters critical thinking skills, number sense, and problem-solving abilities.

When children practice adding numbers mentally, they enhance their memory, concentration, and processing speed. They learn to visualize numbers, which is essential for understanding mathematical relationships and patterns. This early exposure to arithmetic boosts their confidence and reduces math anxiety, paving the way for more complex mathematical concepts in the future.

Moreover, incorporating mental math into daily activities can make learning fun and engaging, bridging the gap between abstract concepts and real-life applications. For instance, asking children to mentally add items while shopping or counting steps while climbing stairs embeds mathematical thinking into everyday experiences.

For teachers, regular mental math practice can provide immediate feedback on students' understanding, allowing timely intervention and personalized instruction. It also encourages a classroom environment where mathematics is seen as a dynamic and integral skill rather than a rote task.

In summary, mental math practice in early childhood builds a strong numerical foundation, fosters critical cognitive skills, and instills a positive attitude towards mathematics that can benefit children throughout their academic journey.
