Did you know that "teen" comes from the Old English word "tiene" which means ten, and eleven and twelve are Germanic terms for 1 left over and 2 left over?
I was wondering what you think a digit is? We talk about it in maths but what does it really mean?
What is the biggest possible digit?
Where did the term digit come from and why?
A number between 0 and 9 or the mesurement between your thumb and pinkie on your outstreched hand.
