# Conceptual Foundation The document describes the conceptual foundation for measurement, specifically for understanding and applying units of measurement. ## Description **Conceptual foundation:** The concept of measurement is based on establishing a correspondence between a unit of measurement and the attributes of the object being measured. **Iteration:** Understanding measurement involves the subdivision of the object and the translation of measurement units. Iterating a unit implies a repeatable process using identical units. **Tiling:** When units are repeated, the end of each unit is immediately adjacent to the next without any gaps or overlaps. This pattern applies when measuring lengths, areas or volumes. **Partitioning:** A single unit can be subdivided into fractional parts to measure a part of an object. **Unit-attribute Correspondence:** The correspondence or relationship between the unit of measurement and the attribute (e.g., length, area, volume) being measured must be established.
