Unit 1 - Lesson 4 Binary Numbers

The document introduces binary numbers, which use only two symbols (0 and 1) to represent values, as opposed to the normal base-10 decimal system. It explains how binary works by assigning place values to patterns of 0s and 1s, and shows how more place values allows for higher numbers to be represented. Students are asked to practice converting between decimal and binary numbers using a "flippy do" tool with 8 bits to represent numbers in binary.
