Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills for children aged 5-6 because these foundational abilities play a crucial role in overall mathematical development. At this age, children are naturally curious and eager to explore numbers, making it an ideal time to develop mental math strategies. Mastering basic addition and subtraction through mental computation fosters number sense, allowing children to understand relationships between numbers and build confidence in their abilities.

Moreover, mental math enhances problem-solving skills and critical thinking. When students can perform calculations in their heads, they become more agile thinkers and can approach math-related challenges with greater ease. This flexibility not only aids in their understanding of more complex mathematical concepts later on but also supports other academic subjects that rely on numerical literacy.

Furthermore, mental math instills a love for learning, as it encourages kids to explore various approaches to find solutions. Developing these skills early on will help children gradually transition to formal mathematics and gives them a strong foundation upon which to build their education.

Ultimately, cultivating mental math skills in young children lays the groundwork for their future success, promoting lifelong numerical literacy and a positive attitude towards math.
