Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math practice, specifically normal addition and subtraction, for 6-year-olds due to its significant cognitive and developmental benefits. At this early stage, children's brains are highly adaptable, making it an ideal time to cultivate strong foundational skills in mathematics. Mental math enhances children's number sense, allowing them to understand relationships between numbers more intuitively. This skill set serves as a building block for more complex mathematical concepts in later years.

Additionally, practicing these operations mentally encourages children to develop problem-solving strategies and improves their ability to estimate and make quick decisions, both of which are essential skills in everyday life. Beyond quantitative skills, mental math fosters confidence and independence; children gain a sense of accomplishment when they can solve problems without relying on external aids.

Moreover, regular practice sharpens their focus and memory, enhancing overall cognitive functioning. This early exposure to mathematics positively influences academic performance in other subjects as well, paving the way for a successful educational journey. Engaging in mental math not only contributes to mathematical proficiency but also builds resilience and encourages a positive attitude toward learning. Thus, investing time in normal addition and subtraction practice is invaluable for a child’s holistic development.
