Mental math practice in kindergarten, particularly with addition and subtraction, forms a cornerstone of early mathematical development and has lasting benefits. Here are several reasons why parents and teachers should prioritize it.

First, mental math helps children develop cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and logical thinking. These skills are vital not only in mathematics but in everyday problem-solving and decision-making situations. By practicing mental addition and subtraction, children enhance their ability to process information quickly and accurately.

Second, engaging in mental math at an early age fosters a positive attitude towards mathematics. When children regularly practice and succeed in solving mental math problems, their confidence grows. This positive reinforcement can influence their attitude toward math, reducing anxiety and encouraging a sustained interest in the subject.

Third, mental math encourages a deeper understanding of number relationships and a solid grasp of numerical concepts. Children learn to see patterns, make predictions, and understand the properties of numbers, which instills a robust mathematical foundation useful for more complex math in later grades.

In short, early mental math practice builds essential cognitive skills, fosters a positive attitude toward mathematics, and lays a strong foundation for future numerical understanding, making it a crucial part of early childhood education.
