Developing mental math skills, particularly in subtraction, is crucial for children aged 5-7 for several reasons. First, mental math fosters number sense, allowing children to make sense of numbers and understand their relationships. This foundational understanding is essential as it forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts later on.

Secondly, subtraction is a skill that often builds on everyday experiences, such as sharing and counting items. By mastering mental subtraction, children can solve problems quickly and confidently without relying on physical aids, enhancing their cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, strong mental math abilities can boost a child's self-esteem and motivation in math-related tasks. When children can perform mental calculations, they feel empowered and less anxious about math, which can lead to a more positive attitude toward learning and engagement in school.

Moreover, practicing mental subtraction enhances concentration and memory, skills that are valuable across all areas of learning. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills from an early age, as these abilities lay the groundwork for academic success and lifelong analytical thinking. By encouraging subtraction skills, adults play a pivotal role in developing confident, competent young learners.
