   What does zero mean on a test?

   • Zero means nothing. When you add zero to the number one, you get the number one. And if some gets a zero on a test, it means they've missed every question. You might know zero as 0, zilch, zip, nothing, or nada. While it is a number of no value, without it we wouldn't be able to count beyond 9. On a number line, all numbers below zero are negative.

   Why is zero Important?

   • In many ways, zero is the most important of all numbers. When zero is added to or subtracted from a number, it leaves the number at its original value. Zero thus makes negative numbers possible. A negative number added to its positive counterpart always equals zero. Zero is also essential to representing many numbers, such as 203 and 1024.
