Practicing mental arithmetic for children aged 7-9 is crucial because it enhances their cognitive development and builds foundational skills for advanced math and everyday life. During these formative years, the brain is highly adaptable and responsive to learning new skills. Mental arithmetic exercises improve memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities, all of which are essential for academic success.

When children engage in mental arithmetic, they learn to perform calculations quickly and efficiently, which boosts their confidence in their math skills. This confidence can foster a positive attitude toward mathematics, reducing math anxiety and making future learning experiences more enjoyable and less intimidating.

Moreover, mental arithmetic helps strengthen number sense—an understanding of numbers and their relationships. This skill is indispensable for grasping more complex mathematical concepts in later grades, such as fractions, ratios, and algebra. Improved number sense also enhances decision-making and logical thinking, benefiting children in various subjects beyond mathematics.

From a practical standpoint, mental arithmetic skills are valuable in everyday situations, such as shopping, cooking, and time management. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize mental arithmetic practice for children aged 7-9 to support their overall cognitive growth, academic achievement, and practical life skills.
