Learning about sharing nothing and why some divisions are impossible!

🤔 What Does Dividing Zero Mean?

Dividing zero means trying to share NOTHING with your friends!

How many cookies does each friend get? ZERO!

💡 Remember: If you have nothing to share, everyone gets nothing!
Empty! 0 cookies on the plate Gets 0 Gets 0
