Part of Lesson Plan: Binary 3- Bits and Bytes and Nybbles, Oh My!

Activity Overview / Details

Lower down on the paper, have them make two columns and label them “Decimal” and “Binary”. Under the binary heading, have them write the numbers 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 as a reminder to help them.

In the “Decimal” column, have them write these decimal numbers: 231, 127, 196, and 20. Have them convert the numbers to binary and write the results in the “Binary” column.

Now have them move down the page and write these numbers in the “Binary” column: 11011100, 00101101, 10111001, and 00010110. Have them convert these numbers to decimal and write the answers in the “Decimal” column.
