Tech: Binary Coding

LI: To learn about binary numbers and coding in the computers.


This week for our year 8 robotics session we went to Tamaki College and worked with Ms. Ferguson. The above google slide showcases our learning on our understanding on binary numbers in the computers. We first learned about the difference between binary numbers and decimals. Decimals are the numbers used by us where as binary numbers are used by the computers. Then we learned about the two binary numbers which were 0 and 1. These two numbers form letters and decimals when we type on the device. After that we went outside and did a simple activity in which Ms. Ferguson writes a number and we have to convert it into binary numbers through teamwork. Once this activity was completed we then did the above google slide on binary coding. I gained a lot of information on binary coding after going to my Tech class with Ms. Ferguson.
