Add to ORKGThere is much to be relearned about mathematics by seeing it from a viewpoint of a particular society. This paper describes measurement concepts by illustrating how the ancient Hopi used them to actively mathematize their environment, building a calendar for celebrations and festivals necessary for their societal mission. The core mathematical concepts are: size, standard unit, zero-origin, tiling, continuousness, and part-whole. The Hopi calendar is presented in terms of the importance and development of the moon, as a counting unit. Ultimately, a 13th moon helps explain the Hopi calendar and further clarifies the mathematical concepts
