a) Construct a definition of what it means “to measure. ”
b) List at least ten things that one learns to measure in school. (You might consider things that arise in mathematics, but also things that are studied in other subjects, such as science.)
c) Check to see if the definition you constructed in part (a) works for all items on the list you generated in part (b). If not, revise your definition accordingly.
