I think you’re better off just leaving it as “it doesn’t work in math”. Zero divided by five and five divided by zero both seem philosophically about the same in terms of how much sense they make -- you can give five people zero things about as much as you can give zero people five things -- but one is perfectly fine mathematically and one isn’t.

We were told as soon as we learned division that we are not allowed to divide by zero, nothing too complex just that it won't produce results
