Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills in normal addition and subtraction for children aged 4-6 because these foundational skills are crucial for overall mathematical development and cognitive growth. At this early age, children are highly receptive to learning and can quickly absorb concepts through engaging activities. Mental math enhances their ability to perform basic number operations without relying on calculators or written methods, building confidence and independence.

Moreover, these skills promote critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. By teaching children to visualize numbers and develop strategies for adding and subtracting mentally, we encourage them to experiment with numbers and understand relationships between them. This early exposure to math concepts sets the stage for more complex mathematics in later grades and helps prevent math anxiety.

Additionally, understanding addition and subtraction feeds into daily life skills, as children encounter math in shopping, sharing, and even playing games. When parents and teachers foster mental math skills, they cultivate a positive attitude toward mathematics, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and success. Ultimately, nurturing these skills at an early age creates a strong academic foundation that empowers children in their educational journeys and beyond.
