Zero is My Hero

Place Value, Number Sets, Decimals: Add and Subtract
Zero is my hero.
I pick it every time.
It’s the very first number
In my table, on my line.
Gives us number families,
In patterns and place,
Just say the name (clap 2x)
And fill the space.
Undefined when denom
Zero when multiplied.
Makes ugly problems easy
Don’t have to try.
‘Cause I line up the decimal points
To add or subtract!
Else, ignore ‘em ‘til the end
Count and scoot ‘til exact. Boom!
