3, 2, 1, DIVIDE!!!

To divide or not to divide
That is the question
Dividing can give us less
or it can give us more
It can also give us a headache
Especially if zero is involved

Zero, the angelic numerator
The devilish denominator
Zero is interesting
Zero is infuriating
Zero, a number or not a number
That is the question

  1. This poem is a lot of fun, and I like the "angelic/ devilish' (positive/negative?) characterization of zero, when it's the numerator or the denominator. That could make a nice cartoon or poster to help kids remember that dividing by zero is the problematic one.
