Boolean logic: Part 1: A step-by-step tutorial guide

This resources takes the absolute beginner step-by-step through the basics of Boolean logic through to building working simulations using Digital™

The following learning outcomes are covered:

Boolean logic
I can explain the term ‘gate’ in relation to Boolean logic.
I can construct truth tables for simple logic circuits using combinations of gates.
I can explain the simplification of Boolean expressions using Boolean identities and rules.
I appreciate the role of Boolean logic in computer architecture.
I can form Boolean expressions from truth tables and vice versa.
I have a sense of what ‘logic’ is and where it originated.
I can explain the logical operator AND, OR and NOT.
I can create logic circuit diagrams from simple Boolean expressions.
I recognise 1/0 as two-state logic levels.

Impacts
