Teaching Learning activity

Introduction (2 minutes):

1. Begin by introducing the concept of number systems, emphasizing that different cultures and contexts use various systems to represent numbers.
2. Explain that computers use the binary (base-2) number system, consisting of only 0s and 1s, whereas humans commonly use the decimal (base-10) system with digits 0 through 9.
3. Briefly discuss the importance of converting between binary and decimal numbers, especially in the context of computer programming and digital systems.

Binary to Decimal Conversion (5 minutes):

Write a simple binary number on the board (e.g., 1011) and explain that each digit in binary represents a power of 2.

• Start from the rightmost digit and assign powers of 2: 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, and so on.
• Multiply each binary digit by the corresponding power of 2.
• Add up the results to get the decimal equivalent.

Example:

work through a couple more examples with the class, encouraging students to follow along and participate in the calculations.

Practice Exercise (2 minutes): 6

Distribute handouts with binary numbers and ask students to convert them to decimal individually or in pairs. Walk around the room to assist and answer questions.

Conclusion (1 minute)

Recap the key points of binary to decimal conversion.

• Emphasize the step-by-step process of assigning powers of 2 and summing up the results.

1. Highlight the practical applications of understanding binary to decimal conversion, especially in computer science and programming.

Assessment

Convert (10001101) into Decimal.
