Unit-attribute
relations must
be considered.
- Students
invent novel measures and quantify
their measurement properties.
- Students
invent novel measures as needed.
- Unit-attribute
relations are understood by recourse
to criteria such as purpose, precision,
and the like. For example, time
can serve as a surrogate for length
measure if we know rate, ratios
of length can serve as measures
of angle, if we have models of
right triangle properties, etc.
- For
example, area units of curved
figures should have curvature
or areas of rectangles are best
measured by other rectangles.
- For

or areas of rectangles are best

- Unit-attribute
relations are not considered.
Generally, this means that length
is the universal unit-everything
is measured as a length.
