EMPTY NESTS

Multiplying by Zero is soooo easy. We will illustrate it with an empty nest.
How many eggs do you see in this nest?

0 eggs x 1 nest = 0 eggs

0 x 1 = 0

How many eggs do you see in these 10 nests?

0 eggs x 10 nests = 0 eggs

0 x 10 = 0

Practice with the song.
Use the player below to control the music.
(Triangle to start, square to stop)

(Four measure introduction)

Zero, zero, you're my hero.
How many eggs now do you see?
If I have an empty nest,
How many eggs can there be?
(Spoken)" Zero!"

Interlude

If I have 10 empty nests,
Having no eggs at all, you see.
How many eggs in these 10 nests?
Please, what can the answer be?
(Spoken)" Zero!"

Interlude

100 nests, 1,000 nests,
10,000 nests and on we go.
All are empty.
How many eggs?
(Spoken) "That's easy!"
Zero!
