The document describes how to add binary numbers using an adding board by placing counters to represent the digits of each number. To add two binary numbers: 1) Place the counters for the first number on the left side of the board and the second number on the right side. 2) Begin at the right side and move or carry counters left according to binary addition rules where 1 + 1 = 10, 1 + 1 + 1 = 11. 3) The final sum is read from left to right once no square has more than one counter.

Adding binary numbers.

A computer adds numbers simply by flipping switches. You can simulate computer adding by using this adding board to add binary numbers. Let's say you want to add 10110 and 10111. 1. Place the number 10110 on the adding board using the counters. number 10111 next to it on the adding board. Place the

2. Begin at the right hand end of the board. If there is one counter on a square, leave it alone. If there are two counters on a square, take one off and move the other one space to the left. (In binary, 1 + 1 = 10, 10 + 10 = 100, etcetera. When you move a counter forward, you are "carrying a 1".)

3. If you have three counters on a square, take one off, move one forward, and leave one where it is. (1 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 10 = 11)

4.

5. When each square contains no more than one counter, read the answer:
