🔍 Task Explanation:
The task asks:
> "Can you see zero? Compare the pictures and place a counter on each picture that shows zero."
This means we need to look at each picture and determine which ones represent
zero — that is,
no objects present.

🖼️ Let's examine each pair of pictures:
#### 1.
Plates with cookies
- Left plate:
Empty → no cookies
- Right plate:
3 cookies
✔ Left plate shows zero
#### 2.
Trees with apples
- Left tree:
Has 2 apples
- Right tree:
No apples
✔ Right tree shows zero
#### 3.
Bench with colorful blocks
- Left bench:
Has colored blocks
- Right bench:
Empty
✔ Right bench shows zero
#### 4.
Ponds with ducks
- Left pond:
Has a duck
- Right pond:
No duck (only a leaf)
✔ Right pond shows zero
#### 5.
Jars with labels
- Left jar:
Labeled “Milk” and has liquid → not empty
- Right jar:
Empty (no liquid)
✔ Right jar shows zero
---
✔ Final Answer:
The pictures that show
zero are:
1. The
empty plate
2. The
tree with no apples
3. The
empty bench
4. The
pond with no duck
5. The
empty jar
👉 These are the images where
nothing is present — they represent
zero.

💡 Teaching Point:
Zero means
none or
nothing. Even if something is in the scene (like a tree or pond), if there are
no items of interest (e.g., no apples, no ducks), it represents zero.

🎯 How to Complete the Activity:
- Use a
counter (like a small circle or sticker) to mark each picture that shows
zero.
- Place the counter on:
- Empty plate
- Tree with no apples
- Empty bench
- Pond with no duck
- Empty jar
---
✔ This helps children visually grasp the idea that
zero means "none", even when the container or space exists.
