Zero

What is zero?

To show nothing or no object we write 0. We read 0 as zero.

For Example:

What is zero?

                            Cage 1                     Cage 2                      Cage 3

In cage 1 we observe that the cage has 2 birds in it.

In cage 2 we observe that 1 bird flies away and the cage has 1 bird in it.

In cage 3 the second bird also flies away. Now the cage has no bird in it.

Therefore, there is no bird in the cage we write 0.

Let us review the number zero.

3 boys are playing.

One of them runs away.

How many are left?

3 - 1 = 2


One more runs away.

How many are left now?

2 - 1 = 1


This boy also runs away.

How many are left now?

1 - 1 = None


None is written as zero

'0' is read as zero.

1 - 1 = 0

● Tony like cupcakes. His mother bought 3 cupcakes of different flavours from Mr. Baker's shop.

After that, Tony ate 1 strawberry cupcake. Now there is only one cupcake left in the plate.

1 Cupcake

Tony ate 1 vanilla cupcake after that, there are no more cupcakes in the plate. we say zero cupcakes in the plate.

We write 0 for zero.
