📚 Today’s Lesson: How to Break Math in 3rd Grade #Hilarious Series Part 1
So here’s what went down on Reddit:
“My son’s 3rd grade teacher told the class that 1 divided by 0 equals 0. I emailed her to correct it, and she doubled down — even CC’d the principal. Then the principal replied… siding with the teacher. I’m honestly losing it. Am I the one who’s wrong here?”
🤯 Yes, this really happened. And no, this isn’t satire.
❓ Let’s clear it up: What does 1 ÷ 0 really give?
In actual mathematics:
➡️ 1 ÷ 0 is undefined.
➡️ It’s not 0.
➡️ It’s not 1.
➡️ It’s not infinity.
It’s just an operation that has no valid result in basic arithmetic or algebra. It’s like trying to divide by a black hole — logic breaks.
Imagine sharing 1 pizza with 0 people. Who eats it? Nobody? Everybody? The pizza just… floats in existential limbo. 🍕
😂 Some golden comments followed:
💬 Zulu (@0xZulu):
“1 apple divided between 0 people is still an apple. The ‘division’ cancels out. 🤷♂️”
Honestly? Philosophically deep. Mathematically cursed.
💬 Ancient Paths YT (@AncientPathsYT):
“You didn’t divide anything, so 1 stays 1.
You shouldn’t lose the definition for what you didn’t do.”
Sounds like a defense lawyer for math.
🧑🏫 But let’s be real…
If your math teacher AND the principal both think 1 ÷ 0 = 0…
➡️ We need a parent-teacher conference — for the teachers.
➡️ Or maybe a YouTube crash course titled “Basic Math for Educators.”
➡️ Because at this point, the kids are gonna end up believing 2 + 2 = fish. 🐟
🗣️ Your turn to weigh in!
🔢 What do you think 1 ÷ 0 equals?
🧮 Do you agree with the teacher?
🧐 Or do we need to start homeschooling ASAP?
