Long long ago, there was no zero. To write the number sixty - three, people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3. The space between six and three was there to mean “not any” tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and read.
Later people used a dot(小圆点) to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like 6·3. But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like 6⊙3. Then people could see the dot and remember the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. This is a story of how zero came to be used.
Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero?
