Mental arithmetic, involving calculations done in one's head without using external aids, is essential for children aged 6-9. Parents and teachers should prioritize it as it bolsters cognitive development, nurturing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. At this young age, a child's brain is highly adaptable and capable of developing strong neural connections. By practicing mental math, these connections are reinforced, aiding in overall academic performance.

Mental arithmetic also enhances memory and concentration skills. Remembering procedures and solving problems step-by-step encourages diligent mental discipline, improving focus in other areas. Additionally, gaining proficiency in mental math can boost a child's confidence. When children realize they can solve problems independently, their self-esteem and learning enthusiasm grow, motivating them to tackle more challenges.

Furthermore, mental arithmetic is practical for everyday situations, like calculating change or managing time. Building this habit early equips children with valuable, lifelong skills. Math anxiety is also significantly reduced, as familiarity and repeated practice make numerical concepts less intimidating.

In summary, caring about mental arithmetic for children aged 6-9 provides cognitive, emotional, and practical benefits, laying the groundwork for academic success and everyday problem-solving skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
