‭Cambridge Objectives:‬
‭1.Understand how and why computers use binary to represent all forms of data‬

‭Learning Target:‬
‭ tudents should recognize that computers use binary because digital circuits, such as transistors, can‬
S
‭easily represent two states: 1 and 0‬

‭Key Takeaways for Students:‬ ‭ ey Terms:‬

K
‭ .Understand the concept of binary,Explain‬
1 ‭Binary number,Hexadecimal number,‬
‭why binary is used and Connect binary to‬ ‭Decimal number‬
‭different forms of data.‬
‭2.Introducing the different number systems.‬

‭What is Binary?‬

‭●‬ B ‭ inary is a base-2 numeral system, which‬

‭uses only two digits:‬‭0‬‭and‬‭1‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Each digit in a binary number is called a‬‭bit‬
‭(short for "binary digit").‬
‭●‬ ‭Binary is the language computers use‬
‭because of their reliance on electronic‬
‭circuits that can be in one of two states: on‬

‭Why Binary?‬

‭●‬ C ‭ omputers use binary because it is simple to‬

‭implement with physical devices (transistors)‬
‭that can be in two states: on (1) or off (0).‬
‭This makes binary reliable and efficient.‬
‭●‬ ‭With two distinct states, binary can represent‬
‭any form of data through combinations of 0s‬
‭and 1s. This allows for precise, error-free‬
‭transmission and storage of data.‬
‭●‬ ‭(1) or off (0).‬

‭Do Now‬ ‭Teacher Notes:‬
‭1.Do you believe that computers can comprehend human languages? If so, how do‬
‭you think they receive and process human language?‬ ‭This Dow Now is to‬
‭ heck the students‬
c
‭2.What is a binary and how many digits do you think it has?‬ ‭prior knowledge.‬

I‭ will pair the students‬

‭randomly, then based‬
‭on their answers on‬
‭the Do NowI will pair‬
‭the kids that seem to‬
‭have prior knowledge‬
‭on number systems‬
‭and the use of binary‬
‭numbers by‬
‭computers.‬
‭ xploration and Inquiry:‬‭Students discover content‬‭for themselves‬
E 1‭ 0 min‬
‭Identify which number systems are these as pairs and share out.‬ ‭Teacher Notes:‬
‭A.1010‬ I‭ will ask the students‬
‭B.36‬ ‭to discuss as a pair,‬
‭C.1F‬ ‭then write their‬
‭D.1101‬ ‭answers on their‬
‭E.24‬ ‭books as individuals.‬
‭F.101011‬
‭ hen during the share‬
T
‭out I will be asking‬
‭ e will discuss and clear any misconceptions and I will assess their prior‬
W
‭them to share their‬
‭knowledge‬
‭answers and walking‬
‭around to check what‬
‭.‬
‭most groups wrote.‬

I‭ know most students‬

‭may think that 36 AND‬
‭24 are binary numbers‬
‭since it has 2 digits.‬

I‭ will ask them what is‬

‭the difference‬
‭between the binary‬
 ‭ umber and the‬
n
‭decimal number so‬
‭that i can clear the‬
‭above possible‬
‭misconception.‬

‭Explanation:‬‭Student guided with teacher input‬ 1‭ 5min‬

‭I will project the‬
‭ ill upload the slides with the summary of the notes, providing the students 13‬
W ‭notes on the‬
‭minutes to write down the notes.‬

‭Elaboration Application and Evaluation:‬‭Students make connections‬ ‭5min‬

‭Teacher Notes:‬
‭Connecting Binary to Text with ASCII‬
‭ roject the ASCII‬
P
‭Table on the board‬

‭ se the ASCII table to write each characters binary code and decode the below‬
U I‭ will ask the students‬
‭message‬‭.‬ ‭to think and discuss‬
‭with their pairs and‬
‭1.01001000 01000101 01001100 01001100 01001111‬ ‭then write the answers‬
‭as individuals.‬
‭ eflection Discussion:‬‭Discuss how binary encoding allows computers to store‬
R
‭text and how these binary codes can be translated to meaningful data for‬ I‭ will be asking the‬
‭humans.‬ ‭students how they‬
‭came to their answers.‬

I‭ will ask the students‬

‭to think about how‬
‭they think the binary‬
‭encoding allows‬
‭computers to store‬
‭text.‬

‭ his activity will allow‬

T
‭them to be able to‬
‭answer the above‬
‭question in their‬
‭discussion.‬

‭ ifferentiation‬
D
‭Based on the Do Now , I will pair the students that reflected prior knowledge and‬ ‭ he students that‬
T
‭those that don't seem to have prior knowledge of number systems.‬ ‭finish the above‬
‭activity can move‬
‭I will also be going around to offer support to the groups that are struggling.‬ t‭ o these activities‬
‭under‬
‭I will give more binary activities to encode for those that finish quick.‬ ‭Differentiation.‬
