Students examine other number systems, particularly the binary number system. They discover how to convert from decimal to other base systems. Students analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using the coded decimals.

Learners take the abstract concept of binary representation and create a more tactile and concrete approach. Using egg cartons, they create a physical representation of binary numbers. The egg cartons become a tool to assist students in...

Third graders complete place value charts in the decimal system, the binary and Hexadecimal system. They discuss the contributions made by Ada Lovelace to computer language. They express the idea of place value with exponents.

Mathematicians participate in an hands-on activity to investigate the binary number system and write messages in binary code and have classmates decipher the messages. A said video on the topic does not seem to be available, but the...

Aspiring astronomers study stars. They compare stars and explain the relationship between radius, mass, and diameter. By creating a star simulation, they discover how a binary star system's orbit can cause changes in the observed...

Eighth graders examine common number system bases that are used: decimal, binary, octa and hex. They create a presentation about one of the number systems using the internet to research the topic. They solve mathematical computations.

Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...

Students count from 0-99 using the binary number system. In this algebra lesson plan, students problem solve by working with faulty circuits and applying their knowledge f Binary Numbers. They work in team to create a solution.

Students discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...

Students use optimization concepts to design their own container. In this optimization lesson plan, students understand how the optimization concept is critical in calculus and why products are packaged the way they are.

Eighth graders engage in a game which focuses on the binary number system. Have one student leave the classroom. They remain in the class and decide on a number between 0 and 32. They come back inside and tries to figure out the number.

Students examine digital images and how satellites orbiting Earth send information and pictures to Earth over the Internet. They use a digital camera to put pictures on a computer and decode a satellite image from space.
