Developing number sense in children aged 6-7 is crucial as it forms the foundational block for future mathematical learning and everyday problem-solving skills. Parents and teachers should prioritize this development for several reasons:

Firstly, a strong number sense helps children understand and enjoy math rather than fear it. Recognizing patterns, comparing quantities, and thinking logically about numbers make kids comfortable with mathematical concepts. This comfort and confidence encourage a positive attitude towards math, which is vital for their academic journey.

Secondly, number sense supports critical thinking and decision-making skills. Understanding how numbers work aids children in making everyday decisions, such as determining the better value when shopping or managing their allowance effectively.

Thirdly, early proficiency in number sense paves the way for learning more complex mathematical concepts, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If children grasp these fundamentals early on, it makes learning advanced topics like fractions, measurement, and algebra far easier in later years.

Lastly, fostering a strong number sense aligns with cognitive development at this age, aiding in overall brain development. Engaging with numbers improves memory, logical reasoning, and problem-solving capabilities, which are valuable beyond math.

Investing time and resources in developing number sense sets children on a path to academic success and equips them with essential life skills.
