Parents and teachers should prioritize developing critical thinking skills in math for children aged 6-7 because these skills are fundamental to their overall cognitive development and future academic success. At this formative age, critical thinking helps children understand the "why" and "how" behind mathematical concepts rather than just memorizing facts or procedures. This deeper understanding fosters problem-solving abilities, enabling children to approach unfamiliar problems with confidence and flexibility.

Critical thinking in math cultivates logical reasoning, enabling kids to make connections between different ideas, recognize patterns, and develop a strong number sense. It prepares them for higher-level math in later grades where concepts become more complex and require a robust foundational understanding.

Moreover, these skills extend beyond mathematics. Critical thinking promotes independent, reflective thought processes, improving children's abilities to analyze information and make reasoned decisions in everyday life. This is crucial for developing autonomy and responsibility as they grow older.

For teachers, incorporating critical thinking into math lessons aligns with modern educational standards that emphasize inquiry-based learning, rather than rote memorization. For parents, it means supporting children in becoming lifelong learners who are not just capable in math but are also prepared to tackle challenges in various disciplines effectively and creatively.
