Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn something super cool about the number zero. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
When you multiply any number by zero, the answer is always zero. Isn’t that amazing? Let’s look at some examples to see how it works:
See? No matter how big the number is, if you multiply it by zero, you get zero!
Now it’s your turn to try. Can you fill in the blanks with the right answer?
Remember, the answer is always zero!
Whenever you multiply by zero, the answer will always be zero. It’s like a magic trick with numbers! So, next time you see a multiplication problem with zero, you’ll know the answer right away. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math superstar!
Zero Hunt: Go on a zero hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or groups of items that can be multiplied by zero. For example, if you see a group of 5 apples, think about what happens if you have zero groups of apples. Discuss with a friend or family member how multiplying by zero changes the number of items you have.
Zero Magic Show: Pretend you are a magician and show your family how multiplying by zero is like a magic trick. Use small objects like toys or blocks. Ask them to pick any number of objects, and then show them that when you multiply that number by zero, the answer is always zero. Explain why this happens and amaze them with your math magic!
Zero Story Time: Create a short story or comic strip about a character who discovers the magic of multiplying by zero. What adventures do they go on? How do they use their new knowledge to solve problems or help others? Share your story with your class or family and see what other magical math adventures they can imagine!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Use 0 when you multiply, and you’ll get 0 every time.
Listen to this:
0 x 1 is 0
0 x 10 is 0
0 x 99 is 0
0 x 1,772 is still 0!
0 x 100,000 is 0
0 x 5,000,000 is 0
0 x 1,000,000,000 is 0
0 x 50,000,000,000 is 0
Use 0 when you multiply, and you’ll get 0 every time.
Now you try giving the answer:
0 x 6 is __
0 x 299 is __
0 x 10,200 is __
0 x 1,000,000,000,000 is __
Use 0 when you multiply, and you’ll get 0 every time.
