At ages 6-7, children are at a critical stage of cognitive development where foundational math skills significantly impact their overall academic success. Mental math skills, which involve solving mathematical problems in one's head without using a calculator or pencil, are particularly important during this period. They foster a deep understanding of numbers and relationships, enhancing problem-solving abilities and critical thinking.

Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math because it builds confidence in children's mathematical abilities, allowing them to tackle more complex concepts later on. Mental math also encourages children to make connections between numbers and apply mathematical thinking to real-world situations. It enhances numerical fluency, leading to quicker calculations and greater efficiency in handling basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Moreover, strong mental math skills develop resilience and perseverance, as children learn to approach challenges systematically rather than relying on external tools. These skills contribute not only to academic success but also to everyday life, as children encounter math in shopping, cooking, and budgeting as they grow. By nurturing mental math abilities, parents and teachers equip children with essential skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey and beyond.
