Mental arithmetic is a foundational skill in mathematics that enhances children's cognitive development and problem-solving abilities. Parents and teachers should prioritize mental arithmetic for several key reasons. First, it boosts confidence in math by enabling students to perform calculations quickly and accurately without relying on calculators, fostering independence in learning.

Second, mental arithmetic encourages critical thinking. As children learn to visualize numbers and manipulate them in their minds, they improve their analytical skills, which are essential not just in math, but across all subjects. This skill also helps them develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, making future learning easier.

Additionally, strong mental arithmetic skills contribute to everyday life. Children use math daily, from budgeting their allowance to calculating time at playdates. By mastering these skills early on, children can navigate daily tasks with ease and confidence.

Furthermore, as students advance in their education, the ability to compute mentally accelerates their learning in more complex mathematical concepts. For teachers and parents, fostering mental arithmetic creates a positive math experience, encouraging lifelong learning and appreciation for mathematics. Therefore, supporting children in developing mental arithmetic is vital for their academic success and overall cognitive growth.
