Parents and teachers should prioritize mental arithmetic in kindergarten because it lays the foundation for a child's future mathematical abilities and critical thinking skills. Engaging in mental arithmetic helps young children develop number sense and enhances their cognitive abilities. It encourages them to think more flexibly about numbers and fosters a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, such as addition and subtraction.

Moreover, mental arithmetic promotes confidence in young learners. When children practice calculating numbers in their minds, they often feel a sense of achievement that bolsters their self-esteem. This confidence can lead to a positive attitude towards mathematics as they progress through school.

Additionally, mental arithmetic is not just about math skills—it's linked to overall brain development. It improves concentration and memory, vital for learning in all areas. Furthermore, as children learn to perform calculations in their heads, they become adept at problem-solving and reasoning, essential skills for both academic and day-to-day challenges.

When parents and teachers invest time in developing mental arithmetic skills, they empower children to become more independent learners, setting them up for success both academically and in life. Fostering these skills early on can lead to positive attitudes and performances in mathematics in the future.
