"There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary numbers… and those who don’t!"
Alongside understanding the joke above(!), KS3 Computer Science: Data Representation - Year 7 will teach your students the following:
- Explain why a computer uses binary.
- To be able to identify the number of bits in different units of data e.g. Bit, Nibble, Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, etc.
- To explain the difference between ‘base 2’ and ‘base 10’ numbering systems.
- To be able to convert binary into denary and vice versa.
- Explain how characters are stored in the ASCII character set.
Your students will learn this information through a variety of clearly presented instructions as well as a range of tasks and activities designed to consolidate learning.
This unit of work also includes a final assessment.
Full teacher solutions also included!
Before completing this unit of work, it is recommended that your students complete Computer systems for year 7 so they have an understanding of the different hardware components of a computer.
