Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills, particularly normal addition, for children aged 3-6 as it lays a foundational understanding of numeracy and problem-solving. At this early stage, children are naturally curious and eager to engage with numbers, making it an ideal time to foster mathematical thinking. Developing mental math competency enhances cognitive processes, improves the ability to perform calculations quickly, and builds confidence in handling numbers.

Normal addition skill mastery helps children make sense of everyday situations, such as sharing objects or counting items during play, reinforcing their learning in a practical context. Engaging in mental math activities nurtures critical thinking and encourages creativity in problem-solving. Moreover, strengthening these skills at an early age can reduce math anxiety later on, paving the way for a more positive attitude towards the subject as they grow.

Furthermore, enhancing mental math helps improve attention spans and boosts memory, as young learners practice retaining information. Collaborative activities involving addition can also encourage social skills, teamwork, and communication. Overall, instilling strong mental math foundations equips children with essential life skills that will benefit their academic journeys and everyday interactions for years to come.
