Parents and teachers should care about mental math skills for children ages 7-8 because these skills form a foundational aspect of mathematical understanding and problem-solving capability. At this critical age, children are ready to transition from concrete to more abstract mathematical concepts, making mental math a key focus.

Developing mental math skills enhances a child's confidence in their abilities, allowing them to tackle challenges without becoming reliant on calculators or worksheets. This encourages independence and strengthens overall mathematical fluency, crucial for success in increasingly complex math tasks in later grades.

Furthermore, mental math fosters critical thinking and improves memory and concentration. Engaging children in extra challenges helps them practice and apply their knowledge in real-world situations, making mathematics relatable and enjoyable. It also encourages resilience as they work through problems, leading to a growth mindset.

These skills not only prepare children for academic success but also enhance their everyday functioning, such as managing time and money. Ultimately, supporting the development of mental math skills equips children with the tools they need to thrive both in school and in life. Prioritizing these skills ensures that they grow into confident learners and problem solvers.
