What is Zero?
Zero means NOTHING!
Zero is the number 0
When we have zero, we have nothing at all.
Zero means empty!
Let's See Zero!
The first box has apples. The second box is empty - it has 0 apples!
Zero in Everyday Life
0 cookies on the plate
0 cars on the road
0 candies in the jar
0 toys in your pocket
Why is Zero Important?
1. Zero helps us count!
We start counting from zero: 0 1 2 3
2. Zero shows when something is all gone!
If you eat all your cookies, you have 0 cookies left!
3. Zero is a real number!
Zero is just as important as 1, 2, or 3. It tells us something important: NOTHING IS THERE!
