Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to…

1. Zero is the integer just before the number 1. It is an even number (-4, -2, 0, 2, 4) and is neither positive or negative. In fact, it’s the only natural number (also called counting numbers) that is not positive. The value of the number zero is nothing.
