AB One of the means for representing quantities/magnitudes is the mental number line.It is still a nonsolved question as to whether the method of learning mathematics inthe early years could improve this type of estimating. A total of 233 students, agedfour and five years, who learned mathematics with a new method called OpenAlgorithm Based on Number or the more traditional Closed Based on Ciphersapproach, were evaluated with a reliable estimation on the number line test.Results revealed significant differences in participants’ estimation functions basedon the learning method used. Students who learned mathematics through theOpen Algorithm Based on Number method used a linear representation moreefficiently than those who were taught with the Closed Based on Ciphers methodology.This group exhibited a logarithmic function in their approach. We discussedwhether these differences can be attributed to a recurrent practice in estimationtasks at school, characterized by the Open Algorithm Based on Number methodology.
