Why is it Important for Children to Learn Mathematics?

Claudia Carias

Mathematics has always held an important place in the teaching plans of schools in all countries.

It is a science that helps:

Develop analytical thinking. Learning mathematics helps children analyze arguments, see relationships between them, and reach a result. Analytical thinking allows children to investigate reality, reason, apply logic, and seek the truth based on evidence.

Manage daily life. In the future, they will likely handle many documents for which they will need mathematics: invoices, purchase receipts, expenses, income, bank loans, etc.

Keep the brain in shape. Mathematics is an excellent "exercise" for the brain, both for children and adults.

Understand nature. We usually only focus on what we see in nature, but with mathematics, we can see beyond and understand what happens in our surroundings.

Solve problems. Mathematics allows us to see problems from another perspective and find solutions that can be applied in our daily lives.

Promote wisdom. Mathematics promotes wisdom as it relates to other fields, such as natural sciences, geography, astronomy, physical education, music, or technology.

Be less manipulable. With mathematics, we learn to analyze data and not be manipulated by figures that may not be real.

It's clear that math plays a huge role in the education system. It's not just about numbers and equations, though. Math helps students think critically, solve problems, and handle real-life tasks like managing money. By making math fun and engaging, we can help students become better problem-solvers and independent thinkers. With math as their ally, students can feel more prepared to take on the challenges they'll encounter in the real world with confidence and resiliency.
