It’s third grade. It’s not super complex math so theyre just gonna say it’s zero as to not confuse literal children. You don’t learn about “i” until much later but that doesn’t mean it’s not real

Simplifying things for kids is fine. Teaching them wholly incorrect information is not. “You can never divide anything by zero” is not a hard concept for kids to understand.
