Mental math skills, particularly in normal addition and subtraction, are crucial for children aged 6-7. At this developmental stage, children begin establishing foundational math concepts, which significantly influence their future learning. By fostering mental math skills, parents and teachers can help children develop confidence in their mathematical abilities, making them more eager to engage in math-related activities.

Additionally, mental math encourages children to think critically and solve problems efficiently. When children practice addition and subtraction mentally, they strengthen their number sense and enhance their ability to work with numbers in various contexts. This skill promotes cognitive flexibility, enabling them to approach problems from different angles and develop resilience in tackling challenges.

Furthermore, strong mental math skills lay the groundwork for more advanced mathematical concepts, including multiplication and division, which they will encounter in subsequent grades. This early investment in their mathematical understanding can lead to improved academic performance overall.

Finally, mastering mental math provides students with essential life skills, such as budgeting or planning. Encouraging mental math doesn't just help in the classroom; it prepares children for real-life situations, instilling them with the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally. Thus, it is vital for educators and families to prioritize these skills.
