Building solid mental math skills in children aged 7-9 is essential for fostering a strong mathematical foundation. Mental math encourages quick thinking and enhances number sense, enabling children to perform calculations rapidly and accurately without relying on written methods.

For parents and teachers, investing time in extra challenge math activities can pay significant dividends. First, it helps children develop confidence in their abilities, promoting a positive attitude toward math, a subject that can often seem daunting. When kids believe they can tackle math problems independently, their overall academic enthusiasm and performance increase.

Mental math exercises also improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and logical thinking. These skills extend beyond math, aiding children in other subjects and daily life. Early mastery of mental math prepares students for more complex mathematical concepts in future years, setting them up for long-term success.

Additionally, mental math fosters problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By often needing to find creative ways to solve problems quickly in their heads, children learn to approach challenges pragmatically and persistently.

By offering extra challenge math activities, parents and teachers help children turn math into a stimulating and enjoyable pursuit, ensuring they build the resilience and skills necessary for academic and personal growth.
