Thank you all for your comments! You are right...that day I shot 10 videos in less than 5 hours without a teleprompter and no second takes...if I would have noticed the wording, I would have definitely reshot. :)

Great idea but I think the wording should be adjusted. " there are 20 tens" There are 2 tens that have a value of 20would be the correct wording

[humanhuman]

everyone can understand it very easily because you are teaching very good I wish you were my teacher for maths

[onespeedlite]

Instead of saying, "20 tens", she should have said, "2 tens".

"20 tens" = 200
"2 tens" = 20
