"37 units is like having 37 of something you can touch and count."
Imagine you have a bag of marbles, and inside that bag are exactly 37 marbles, no more, no less. Each marble is one unit, so together they make 37 units.
Like Counting Blocks
Think about building with blocks. If you stack up 37 blocks, each one is a unit, and all of them together are 37 units. It’s like counting your toys, if you have 10 cars, 5 dolls, and 20 action figures, that's also 37 units of fun!
Or Like Sharing Cookies
If you have 37 cookies to share with friends, each cookie is a unit, and together they’re 37 units of deliciousness. You can give away 1 unit (a cookie) at a time until there are none left.
So whether it’s marbles, blocks, or cookies, 37 units means you have exactly 37 of something you can count!
