Parents and teachers should care about mental math skills for children aged 5-7 because these foundational abilities play a crucial role in overall mathematical development and cognitive growth. Developing mental math skills enhances children's confidence and fosters a positive attitude towards math as they engage in quick calculations without always relying on pencil and paper.

These skills help children recognize number patterns and relationships, which are essential for grasping more complex mathematical concepts later on. Engaging in mental math encourages flexibility in thinking, allowing young learners to approach problems from various angles, enhancing their problem-solving strategies. Moreover, it supports memory retention and enhances concentration—both crucial for academic success.

Introducing extra challenges in mental math not only makes learning fun, but it also stimulates curiosity and motivation. Through playful activities and games, children develop critical thinking skills while working at their own pace. This approach nurtures a growth mindset, where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities. Ultimately, by prioritizing mental math, parents and teachers lay a strong groundwork for lasting mathematics proficiency and equip children with essential life skills in numeracy, paving the way for future academic achievements.
