Subtracting 0
key notes :
π‘ What happens when we subtract 0?
π When you take away 0, nothing changes!
π The number stays the same π
π Rule:
Any number β 0 = the same number
π Example: 5 β 0 = 5
π΅ Why does this happen?
π Because you are not taking anything away.
π So, the number remains just as it is π
π’ Picture Examples
πΌοΈ πππ (3 apples)
Take away 0 apples β0
π Still πππ
π 3 β 0 = 3
πΌοΈ βββββ (5 stars)
Take away 0 stars β0
π Still βββββ
π 5 β 0 = 5
π΄ More Examples
β¨ 7 β 0 = 7
β¨ 9 β 0 = 9
β¨ 2 β 0 = 2
π£ Key Idea to Remember
π‘ Taking away zero means nothing changes!
π‘ The answer will always be the same as the starting number.
π Fun Memory Trick!
π΅ βZero is a hero,
It takes away nothing!
The number stays the same,
Just keep on smiling!β ππ
