Understanding tens math is crucial for children aged 6-9 as it lays a foundational framework for their overall mathematical development. At this age, children begin to explore deeper concepts of place value, addition, and subtraction. Grasping the concept of "tens" helps them make sense of numbers, understand units and groups, and develop mental math skills that are essential for calculating and problem-solving in everyday life.

Parents and teachers should care because a strong understanding of tens enables children to approach more complex mathematical concepts with confidence. It allows them to easily comprehend larger numbers by recognizing that each digit plays a specific role based on its position in the place value system. As children learn to group numbers into tens, they can count more efficiently and engage in mental arithmetic.

Moreover, fostering a strong understanding of tens at this age can alleviate math anxiety in the future. Children who are comfortable with basic concepts are more likely to enjoy math and pursue advanced topics as they grow older. Encouraging exploration and discussion around tens, whether through games, visual aids, or real-life scenarios, can significantly enhance children's learning experiences and build their confidence in math.
