Mental math practice, especially in solving addition and subtraction word problems, is crucial for 7-year-olds as it builds a strong foundation for their mathematical thinking and overall cognitive development. When children practice these skills, they enhance their ability to perform calculations quickly and accurately in their heads. This not only saves time during tests and real-life scenarios but also boosts their confidence in handling numbers.

Word problems, in particular, encourage kids to apply math in everyday situations, making learning more relevant and engaging. By solving such problems, children improve their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, as they need to understand the context, identify the relevant information, and decide on the appropriate operations to apply.

Moreover, regular practice in mental math and word problems helps strengthen working memory, increases attention span, and promotes logical reasoning. For teachers and parents, focusing on these activities ensures that children develop a deep, intuitive understanding of basic mathematical concepts early on. This foundation is essential as it supports future learning in more advanced mathematical topics, fostering academic success and a positive attitude towards math. Therefore, encouraging mental math practice and solving word problems helps cultivate well-rounded, math-competent learners.
