Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills in children aged 6-9 because these foundational abilities play a crucial role in their overall academic success and cognitive development. Mental math focuses on the ability to perform calculations without relying on paper or calculators, which enhances numerical fluency and builds a strong mathematical foundation.

At this age, children are naturally curious and able to grasp abstract concepts more readily. Developing mental math skills helps bolster their confidence and problem-solving abilities, enabling them to tackle more complex mathematical ideas as they progress in school. Moreover, strong mental math skills support quick thinking and improve memory retention, which are beneficial not only in mathematics but across other subjects as well.

Engaging children in mental math fosters critical thinking and encourages a positive attitude towards numbers, reducing anxiety often associated with mathematics. It can also be a fun and interactive way to integrate learning into daily life through games and simple challenges. By cultivating these essential skills early on, parents and teachers lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and a deeper understanding of mathematics, mitigating barriers that may rise later in their education journey.
