This slideshow introduces students to counting in binary and contains a very short self-check to help gauge understanding.

In this lesson, students will create a binary art representation of their names. This will reinforce the concept of using numbers to represent non-numeric ideas.

This Edpuzzle assignment uses a clip from the YouTube video "Binary Numbers for Kids" by Socratica Kids to ask questions for understanding about binary numbers.

One of the fundamental computer science concepts is that everything we do on a computer is really just turning binary digits on and off. Even though this sounds simple, it can be a concept that is hard to wrap one's head around. This activity brings the binary concept to reality through the creation of binary bracelets or bookmarks.

In this lesson, students will learn about using binary encoding to represent numbers and text. They’ll use several different encoding techniques, and then develop and test their own protocol for encoding other kinds of information into binary.

As part of this activity, students learn about geologic processes on Earth in order to interpret surface features recently seen on Europa by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. Materials presented here include a vocabulary list, geology jigsaw puzzle, review questions, and links to related sites.

This lesson exposes students to the idea that computers have their own numeric language and that any data such as a picture, color, song, etc. can actually be represented using numeric values a computer understands.  Students will be able to identify the binary system and use the binary codes to represent textual data.  Students will also be able to represent pictures using numeric values by understanding and using the concept of pixels

Springing off of the picture book The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi, students contemplate diverse cultures and customs before learning about how a computer program translates English to binary code. This resource combines ELA with computer science and includes interactive read aloud questions, a discussion about culturally diverse backgrounds, review of the prefix bi-, introduction of binary language (with a translation chart), and instructions to create binary bracelets.

This slideshow introduces students to binary, what it represents and how computers see and use it.

Students can read the book independently or you could read as a class. Them students can complete the quiz/assignment independently. I allow students to complete this assignment open book, one question will refer them to a specific page.
