Parents and teachers should care about mental math practice for children aged 4-6 because it lays the foundation for strong numerical skills and promotes cognitive development. During these formative years, children's brains are highly adaptable, making it an ideal time to develop quick thinking and problem-solving abilities. Mental math enhances children's confidence in their mathematical skills as they learn to perform calculations without relying on paper or calculators.

Furthermore, mental math fosters number sense, which is crucial for understanding more complex mathematical concepts down the line. It encourages children to visualize numbers and grasp relationships between them, enhancing their ability to engage in abstract thinking. As they practice mental math, children also improve their focus, memory, and concentration.

Beyond math prowess, the skills gained from mental math practice contribute to children’s academic success overall. Engaging with math in a fun and interactive way during early childhood stimulates curiosity and a love for learning. When parents and teachers prioritize mental math, they help instill persistence and resilience, as children learn to tackle challenges and think critically. In summary, nurturing mental math skills is an investment in a child's intellectual and emotional growth, preparing them for future academic and life challenges.
