This is my take on getting students to use their simple binary knowledge (they have looked at binary and how up to 5 bits works) and now it’s time to take this knowledge and use a simple task (1 bit binary which means two colours) and then progressing to 3 bit combinations (allowing for 8 colours). There are two spreadsheets that can be used which are available here and these can be shared with students. Task 1 is a simple 10 X 10 grid with 2 colours Task 2 is a 15 X 15 grid that allows 8 colours to be used The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work without any extra planning.
