                  IntroducIng Zero (0)

                  Zero (0) is a number representing an empty quantity. Let us understand zero using

                  daily life example.

                      There are 4          1 butterfly        1 more butterfly  1 more butterfly  1 more butterfly
                   butterflies on a        flies away.           flies away.          flies away.          flies away.
                        flower.        3  butterflies left. 2  butterflies left. 1  butterfly left. 0  butterfly left.

                  After the last butterfly, flew away, how many butterflies are left on the flower?

                  Clearly, none. We write, none as 0. 0 is read as Zero.
                                                                                                      Remember
                  uNderstANdiNg the Number teN                                                     Zero means absence
                                                                                                   of something.

                  Raina and Rakshit are friends.

                  Raina has 9 candies and Rakshit has 10. It is 1 more than number 9. 9 and 1 more

                  make 10. 10 is read as Ten.

                                                                                               We use only one
                                                                                                place to write
                                                                                               numbers 1 to 9.

                  The symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are used to write all the                       Tens Ones

                  numbers. The numbers 1 to 9 are one-digit counting numbers. So, they                                 9

                  occupy only ones place when written.
