Mental math skills, particularly normal subtraction, are crucial for children aged 4-9, and both parents and teachers should prioritize them for several reasons. Firstly, mastering subtraction builds a strong numerical foundation, crucial for later math concepts. It helps children understand relationships between numbers, facilitating easier handling of more complex operations as they advance in their education.

Additionally, mental arithmetic encourages cognitive development. It enhances critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and memory retention. By practicing subtraction without relying on calculators or written methods, children learn to manipulate numbers internally, fostering their confidence in math.

Furthermore, early subtraction skills can support daily life applications. Being able to subtract mentally helps children when they are counting change or sharing items, reinforcing the practical relevance of math in real-world situations.

Moreover, developing strong mental math skills promotes a positive attitude toward mathematics. Children who are proficient in these skills often feel more empowered and engaged in their learning process.

In summary, parents and teachers should care about instilling subtraction skills early on. Ensuring that children are comfortable with mental math enhances their academic performance, supports cognitive development, and prepares them for future challenges both in and outside the classroom.
