Free-Write on Divide and Zero

Divide:
- Splitting things into equal sizes of groups or each person gets the same amount of “something”
- Opposite of multiplication
- A math concept
- Has real life applications for splitting the cost of food or accommodation costs etc between two or more people
- Dividing a fraction by 1 gives the reciprocal
- Can’t divide by 0

Zero:
- A number
- Oval-shaped or a circle
- 0 is in grades and prices, for example 80% and $10
- 0 is on the number line
- Cant divide a number by 0
- Multiplication of a number by 0 is always 0
- Reminds of me eggs
- No one wants a 0 on exams
- Neither positive or negative
- We want lots of 0s behind digit(s) 1-9 in our bank account balance
