Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math skills for 6-year-olds because these skills form a foundational aspect of a child's mathematical understanding and overall cognitive development. Mental math enhances a child's ability to perform calculations quickly in their head, reducing reliance on calculators or written methods. This fosters confidence in their problem-solving abilities and encourages a positive attitude towards math.

Moreover, mental math promotes critical thinking and helps children recognize numerical patterns, which are essential for higher-level math concepts. By developing mental math skills early on, children can improve their numerical fluency, making it easier for them to tackle more complex math topics in the future.

Furthermore, engaging in activities that strengthen mental math can be fun and interactive, which can enhance the child's enjoyment of learning. Parents and teachers can incorporate games and relatable scenarios that relate math to everyday life, instilling a love for mathematics from an early age.

Increasing mental math proficiency not only reinforces a child's current learning but also sets them on a path toward future academic success in math and beyond. In this way, nurturing mental math skills is a significant investment in a child's educational journey.
