Division by Zero

Approaching zero,
Entering the dark.
To the blackest black,
We dive and divide.
Improbable,
But not impossible.
To exist at all,
Throughout space.

During the free write, the first word was 'divide'.

One into another. Over another. Fraction. Dum doodle dee. There is a line with a dot above and bellow. Or you could see a backslash. A divider! Two sides to something, ............ Cut a cucumber or an apple into 2, 3, 4 pieces. Oh it's a miracle. Big number over smaller number could be bigger or smaller. Divide those people into groups.

The second word was 'zero'.

The name of a character in Code Geass... What is 0? Is it nothing? Is it very very small, approaching nothing? What do you get when you divide by 0? Calculators say undefined. But what is a number divided by something so incredibly small? Something so big... Infinity. That's right, Infinity. Yeah, capitalize that! Where does 0 exist? Where in the Universe, Galaxy, Solar System, Star, Planet, Continent, Household, Pocket?

Would I use this in a 9, 10, 11 classroom? Depends on the class and how I feel they learn. Writing a poem about zero is interesting, but is it useful? When doing the free write it wasn't as if I had a revelation about zero. I didn't come to any new conclusions. I just wrote what I already knew with the knowledge of limits as x approaches 0. This is what would probably happen if my high school students were given the same assignment. They would write what they knew already without learning anything new or coming to an understanding about the topic.
