Parents and teachers should care about mental math skills for children aged 8-9 because it cultivates a foundation for strong mathematical proficiency and cognitive development. At this formative age, children's brains are highly receptive to learning, and engaging in mental math exercises can significantly improve their numerical fluency, problem-solving abilities, and logical reasoning.

Mental math encourages students to think quickly and accurately without relying on calculators or written computations. This fosters confidence, resilience, and adaptability in math, making them better equipped to handle complex calculations in higher grades. It also instills a deep understanding of numbers, rather than just rote memorization of times tables and arithmetic operations.

Additionally, integrating mental math into regular practice enhances cognitive skills such as memory, concentration, and mental agility. These benefits transcend math and positively impact other academic areas and everyday life activities, from estimating the cost of groceries to managing time.

Teachers and parents who prioritize mental math help instill a lifelong appreciation for mathematics, encourage independent thinking, and set children on a path to academic success. By making mental math a fundamental part of early education, we create a rich learning environment that empowers young learners to confidently tackle future challenges.
