Arithmetic: What is zero? (Kids)

Zero is one of the most useful numbers of all. It's how we say we have no objects. If you start with 4 marshmallows, and give all 4 of them away, you have ZERO marshmallows left! We need to use zero when we add and subtract. Zero also does interesting things when you multiply it by any number. You get zero, every time. Zero wins!

About this series:
Every Thursday, we're going to Math Camp! This year, we're learning about ARITHMETIC. We'll learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. We'll also learn about whole numbers (integers), fractions, decimals, and complex numbers. These are topics that first come up in arithmetic, but will continue to be helpful in other math subjects like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and more. So get yer paper and pencils and join us for a fun-filled summer! (sunscreen optional).

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a single episode! Come back each Thursday!!

Please share these videos with your friends so they can have fun learning math, too.
