Data Representation

A great introduction to understanding how text, images and sound are saved as binary. These ready to use data representation lessons will save you hours of preparation and can easily be adapted to meet your own requirements.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?
In this unit you have 3 ready-to-use lessons:

• ASCII characters
• Bitmap images
• Sound
  .

Everything you need is included such as:

• a very high-quality accessible PowerPoint presentation for every lesson that effortlessly leads the teacher through the lesson and includes all the answers to the many questions and tasks the students need to complete
• a 2-sided editable worksheet for every lesson
• an easy-to-follow editable lesson plan for every lesson
  .

PRIOR LEARNING
This unit does expect pupils to be familiar with binary and in particular know that:

• Computers store numbers using binary.
• Binary can only contain 1s and 0s.
• A single binary digit is a bit.
• They can translate denary numbers into binary and binary numbers into denary by working out the column headings.
  .

If your students are unfamiliar with these concepts, I highly recommend purchasing my 2 lesson unit called “Understanding Binary” which covers all of these topics and will ensure your students are ready for this unit. Many teachers purchase both units (Understanding Binary and Data Representation) together and run them as a single 5 week unit as they complement each other so well.

EASY TO USE
These ready to use resources are so straightforward that although I have included a lesson plan, most teachers can teach straight from the PowerPoint presentation without any further assistance. And best of all, the answers are included saving you time and energy.

This makes these lessons suitable for experienced computing specialist teachers along with non-specialists and early career teachers (ECTs).

EDITABLE RESOURCES
I understand that teachers want to adapt their resources, so I’ve made the bold decision to make these resources editable.

Therefore, if you need to use a particular template style for your school,or if you have students with specific educational needs, you can change the lesson to suit them.

It gives you the flexibility to alter the lessons to suit your own particular needs.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TEACHING TECHNIQUES
These teaching resources have been specifically designed to aid pupils using educational psychology backed theories including dual coding, Mayer’s theory and the best techniques to alleviate cognitive load.

Your students will have a higher retention rate, better and deeper understanding of the subject matter and will build their confidence in a natural way which reduces distractions and helps them focus on the learning.

These lessons are highly interactive and engage students straight from the start.
