What is 20 or 30?

"What is 20 or 30?" is asking about numbers that help us count bigger groups of things.

Imagine you have a basket full of apples. If you take out 20, it’s like having two full hands of apples, one hand has 10, and the other also has 10. If you take out 30, it’s like three full hands of apples, each with 10.

Counting in groups

When we say 20, we’re talking about two groups of ten. Think of your toys: if you have two boxes, and each box has 10 toys, that's 20 toys total!

If you say 30, it means three groups of ten. Like having three bags of marbles, each with 10 marbles, and counting them all together.

So when someone asks "What is 20 or 30?", they’re just asking about bigger numbers that help us count more things, like toys, apples, or even cookies!
