Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math improvement for children aged 8-9 for several important reasons. First, developing strong mental math skills enhances a child’s overall mathematical fluency, enabling them to quickly and accurately solve everyday problems. This fluency fosters confidence, reducing math-related anxiety and promoting a positive attitude toward the subject.

Mental math also strengthens cognitive abilities including memory, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills, which are foundational for future academic success. Children who practice mental math regularly develop faster thinking speeds, giving them an edge in timed tests and quick decision-making situations.

Moreover, early proficiency in mental math prepares students for more complex mathematical concepts they will encounter in later years. It lays the groundwork for algebra, geometry, and higher-level math by establishing a solid understanding of numbers and their relationships.

In a practical sense, mental math equips children with life skills they will use daily, such as making quick calculations while shopping, budgeting, and managing time effectively.

Overall, investing in mental math at an early age is crucial. It not only builds a strong mathematical foundation but also promotes intellectual growth, helping children become more self-assured and versatile learners. Hence, fostering these skills is invaluable in both academic and real-world contexts.
