Concepts Covered

Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end. Understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
