Parents and teachers should place a high priority on improving mental math skills in children aged 5-8 because it forms a crucial foundation for future learning and everyday problem-solving. At this formative age, children's brains are highly receptive to absorbing new information, and enhancing mental math proficiency can significantly boost cognitive development. Mental math encourages quick thinking and promotes a better understanding of number concepts, which can translate to improved performance in all areas of mathematics as children progress through their education.

Mental math skills strengthen memory, concentration, and the ability to make logical connections, which can be beneficial in subjects beyond math, including reading and critical thinking. Additionally, when children become confident in their mental math abilities, they develop a positive attitude toward learning and feel more prepared to tackle challenging problems. By focusing on mental math, parents and teachers help children develop resilience and flexibility in their thinking, allowing them to approach problems from different angles and find creative solutions.

Moreover, mental math is a practical life skill that children will use frequently in daily activities, such as estimating costs, making change, and managing time. Thus, improving mental math at an early age equips children with the tools they need for academic success and everyday functioning.
