Fostering strong mental arithmetic skills, particularly in addition and subtraction, for children aged 6-9 is crucial for several reasons. During these formative years, foundational math skills not only enrich immediate academic performance but also cultivate long-term cognitive abilities and problem-solving proficiency.

Firstly, mental arithmetic sharpens children's memory and increases their ability to focus. When kids regularly engage in mental math, they practice holding numbers and manipulating them in their minds, which reinforces their working memory and attention span.

Secondly, these skills enable students to develop confidence in their mathematical abilities. Successfully solving arithmetic problems mentally empowers children, making them more inclined to tackle more complex mathematical concepts in the future without fear or anxiety.

Additionally, mental arithmetic speeds up their overall math fluency. Being adept at quick calculations enables children to cope better with time-constrained tests and tasks, enhancing their performance in school.

Lastly, proficiently solving addition and subtraction problems helps with real-life numeracy, essential for everyday tasks such as making change, measuring ingredients, or dividing up a number of items.

Therefore, by focusing on mental arithmetic, parents and teachers can boost children’s overall cognitive development, bolster academic achievement, and provide them with essential life skills. This foundation prepares young learners for more advanced math topics and nurtures a positive attitude toward learning.
