Alright, so "double digit" is a pretty straightforward term. It's used to describe any number that has two digits in it, like 10 or 99. When we talk about double digits, we're basically just saying that the number is made up of two single digits, instead of just one. So if I asked you to pick a double digit number between 10 and 99, you could choose any number from 10 to 99, and it would fit the definition of a double digit number. It's like having two treats instead of one - double the fun!

Another way to think of double digit numbers is to imagine them as pairs. Each double digit number is like a little team of two digits working together. Just like you have a favorite buddy to play games with, a double digit number is made up of two numbers that stick together and make a team. So, whenever you see a number with two digits, you can think, "Hey, that's a double digit number!"

Sometimes, people use "double digit" to talk about percentages, scores, or statistics too. If a basketball player scores a double digit number of points, it means they've scored at least 10 points. Or if a team has a double digit lead in a game, it means they're ahead by at least 10 points. So, "double digit" can also be used in these situations to show that the number is at least 10 or more.

So, in a nutshell, "double digit" just means any number that has two digits! It's as simple as that. Does that make sense to you?
