Hello, I am student trying to fugure out why when I enter any number it

Because that's what you programmed it to do.
Almost. If you enter 1 or 10 you won't get an error.
Look at your logic:
number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
while number < 1 or number > 10:
print 'Please enter a number between 1 and 10'
number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
while number > 1 or number < 10:
print 'Error'
number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
If the first number you enter is say 7.
It skips the first while loop and asks for another number.
If you enter 7 again
It then goes into the second while loop and reports an error.
The only numbers which don't fall into one of the two loops
are 1 and 10.
BTW It's bad practice to use input() in Python v2 becauise it has
security issues. Instead use raw_input() and convert to an
int() or float() explicitly.
while not (endProgram == 'yes' or endProgram == 'no'):
print 'Please enter a yes or no'
There is a bug here too since you don't provide a way
for the user to enter a new number. It will loop forever.
