childrens performance number line estimation task often measured percentage absolute error predicts later mathematics achievement task may also reveal childrens ordinal understanding target numbers relation benchmarks eg endpoints midpoint b ordinal skills necessary precursor childrens ability understand interval nature number line measured percentage absolute error using data 104 us kindergartners measured whether childrens estimates correctly sequenced across trials correctly positioned relative given benchmarks within trials two time points time points found ordinal error measure revealed distinct pattern data distribution providing opportunities tap different aspects childrens ordinal understanding furthermore children made fewer ordinal errors scored higher test early mathematics ability showed greater improvement interval understanding numbers reflected larger reduction percentage absolute error time 1 time 2 findings suggest number line measures reveal individual differences childrens ordinal understanding numbers understanding may precursor interval understanding later mathematics performance
