Parents and teachers should care about mental math skills and word problems for children aged 7-9 because these activities form a critical foundation for future academic success and daily life skills. At this age, children's brains are highly adaptable and capable of grasping concepts that underpin advanced mathematical thinking. Engaging with mental math exercises and word problems enhances cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and logical reasoning.

Mental math encourages children to perform calculations in their heads, fostering speed and efficiency in problem-solving and encouraging mental flexibility. These skills are crucial not only for math but also for subjects that require analytical thought. Additionally, word problems contextualize math in real-world scenarios, making it more relatable and understandable for young minds. They improve reading comprehension because students must decipher the problem before solving it.

Finally, success in these areas boosts children's confidence in their abilities, which can have a domino effect on their overall academic performance and attitude towards learning. By emphasizing mental math and word problems early on, parents and teachers help children build a toolkit for both scholastic achievement and everyday tasks, paving the way for a lifetime of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
