Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math practice in kindergarten for several compelling reasons. First and foremost, mental math enhances number sense, which is essential for young learners to understand relationships between numbers and develop mathematical thinking. Engaging in addition and subtraction based on mental calculations fosters cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory retention.

Moreover, students who regularly practice mental math develop confidence in their abilities. This encourages a positive attitude towards math, reducing anxiety and creating a love for learning as they discover the joy in solving problems without relying solely on tools like calculators or fingers. Precision and speed are further improved with consistent mental math exercises, allowing students to tackle more complex mathematical challenges as they progress.

In a world where quick decision-making and adaptable thinking are crucial, the mental agility developed through early math practice prepares children for future academic and real-life situations. By integrating these practices into daily learning experiences at home or within the classroom, parents and teachers lay the foundational blocks for lifelong mathematical proficiency and encourage a growth mindset that recognizes mistakes as stepping stones to success.
