Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving abilities in children ages 8-9, especially through programs like Extra Challenge Math, for several compelling reasons. At this age, children are developing critical thinking skills essential for academic success and everyday life. Engaging with math challenges encourages resilience, as students learn to tackle complex problems and persist through difficulties, fostering a growth mindset.
