Mental math practice, particularly with normal addition and subtraction, is crucial for children aged 6-8 for several reasons. First, developing mental math skills helps build a strong foundation in arithmetic, enabling children to recall basic facts quickly and accurately. This proficiency not only boosts their confidence in mathematics but also lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts later on.

Second, mental math enhances cognitive development. It encourages children to think critically and solve problems more efficiently without relying on calculators or written computations. This boost in cognitive flexibility and number sense is essential as they progress through school.

Moreover, mental math practice can improve children’s overall academic performance. Mastering addition and subtraction enables students to tackle word problems and apply math in real-life scenarios, strengthening their reasoning skills and helping them connect mathematical understanding to everyday life.

For parents and teachers, supporting mental math in this age group can stimulate a love for learning and creativity in problem-solving. Engaging children in fun, interactive mental math activities can make math a positive experience, combating math anxiety and increasing their enthusiasm for the subject as they grow older. Ultimately, investing in mental math practice is an investment in a child's educational journey.
