Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills for children aged 5-6 because these skills form the foundation for a child's overall mathematical understanding and confidence. At this early stage, mental math fosters numeracy, enabling children to grasp basic concepts like addition, subtraction, and number recognition without reliance on pencils or calculators. This boosts their cognitive flexibility and problem-solving abilities.

Moreover, mental math encourages mathematical thinking and reasoning. When children engage in “Extra Challenge Math,” they confront typical math challenges in playful and diverse ways, making learning enjoyable and fostering a positive attitude towards mathematics. This approach enhances a child's ability to calculate quickly and accurately, which proves beneficial in everyday situations and future educational contexts.

Additionally, developing mental math skills can lead to improved performance in standardized tests and assessments, as children who are comfortable with numbers often excel in various subjects that require analytical thinking. Finally, instilling these skills early nurtures resilience and perseverance, essential traits for tackling problems throughout their academic journey and beyond. By recognizing the value of mental math, parents and teachers contribute to creating confident, capable learners who are well-prepared for future mathematical challenges.
