Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math practice, especially through Grade 2 word problems, as it fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for later academic success. At this developmental stage, children are building the foundation of mathematical concepts, and engaging with word problems allows them to connect math to real-world situations, enhancing comprehension and retention.

Mental math encourages children to develop numerical fluency, enabling them to perform calculations quickly and efficiently without reliance on calculators. This skill not only boosts confidence but also prepares them for more complex mathematical concepts in the future. Additionally, tackling word problems enhances reading comprehension because students must interpret the text to determine the mathematical operations needed.

Moreover, collaborative practice between parents and teachers can promote a positive attitude toward math and foster a supportive learning environment. When children see the adults in their lives valuing math, they are more likely to embrace these concepts themselves. Ultimately, prioritizing mental math and word problems is key to cultivating a generation of critical thinkers who are equipped with the skills necessary for academic achievement and everyday decision-making.
