Mental math practice, particularly through word problems, is crucial for children aged 7 to 9 for several reasons. Firstly, it enhances cognitive skills by promoting critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Word problems compel children to interpret scenarios, identify relevant information, and formulate a mathematical approach, bridging the gap between abstract numbers and real-life situations. This skill is vital for their academic development, as it lays a foundation for future mathematical concepts.

Secondly, mental math reinforces number sense and calculations without reliance on calculators or written methods. By engaging in regular practice, children gain confidence in their mathematical abilities, reducing anxiety around math-related tasks. It fosters a sense of independence as they learn to tackle problems on their own.

Moreover, successful problem-solving improves perseverance and resilience. When faced with challenging word problems, children learn to approach difficulties with a positive and determined mindset. Lastly, involving parents or teachers in this practice builds a collaborative learning environment, ensuring that children receive support and encouragement.

In summary, prioritizing mental math through word problems equips children with essential skills while boosting confidence, fostering independence, and enhancing their overall learning experience.
