He also doesn't understand multiplication. He keeps asking what happens with the two in 2 x 0. There is no "2". Write any number 0 times and that means you have zero. Write zero two times and you still have zero. lmao.
You wouldn't know to write it 0 times if the 2 comes first. You started out with a 2,how are you erasing the 2 just because the 0 showed up. Its all in how you word it when it comes to 0. If you say "2 zero times" yeah I can see how thats zero for the most part. Saying "2 multiplied by zero" or "2x0" though,your starting out with a 2 and just not multiplying it by anything. Like I said,nobody can explain how 0 is some sort of super number that makes you ignore the fact you ever heard or saw the number 2. But I apoligize to the kids who might see this,just write 0 on the paper,don't try to be a hero.
I did feel stupid after people kept coming in here breaking it down as if I haven't been indoctrinated. I am still going to write 0 everytime,even if I do it reluctantly. 0 should be kept pure really,theres only one nothing .I'm probably being too deep and philosophical with math.
