Practicing mental arithmetic, specifically addition and subtraction, is crucial for children aged 6-7 as it lays the foundation for their mathematical understanding and overall cognitive development. This age group, often described as being in a critical period for learning, benefits greatly from developing strong mental math skills.

Firstly, mental arithmetic promotes number sense, helping children understand the relationships between numbers, which is essential for advancing in mathematics. It fosters problem-solving abilities, as children learn to assess various ways to approach a problem in their heads, enhancing their logical reasoning and critical thinking skills.

Moreover, mastering these basic operations boosts children's confidence in their math abilities, encouraging a positive attitude towards learning. Success in mental arithmetic can also influence performance in more complex subjects in the future, as math skills are foundational for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Furthermore, mental arithmetic promotes cognitive flexibility, allowing children to adapt their calculations or strategies according to different scenarios. Engaging in these exercises also supports memory development and attention span. For parents and teachers, fostering these skills not only aids academic achievement, but also cultivates a lifelong love of learning and confidence in facing mathematical challenges.
