There are four mathematical properties of addition. These are:
-

Additive Identity
Example:
2 + 0 = 2
0 + 5 = 5
5 kids + 0 kids = 5 kids
A flock of 12 birds sat over the branch of a tree. No more birds joined them. How many birds are sitting on the branch of the tree?
As no bird joined the flock of 12 birds, hence the number of birds remained the same.
This can be written in a mathematical expression as
12 birds + 0 birds = 12 birds
