    This document provides a practice activity on binary numbers. It includes tables to fill in 4-bit and 8-bit binary numbers and their decimal equivalents. It also has conversion practice from binary to decimal and vice versa. Questions at the end ask about patterns in odd/even binary numbers, the number of bits needed to count to 1000, and the highest number that can be counted using 10 fingers as bits.

    Activity Guide - Binary Practice 
     
     
    Directions
    Using your Flippy Do or the binary odometer widget fill in the following charts and answer the following
    questions.

    All 4-bit numbers


    It’s useful and handy to have a sense of the sixteen 4-bit numbers. Fill in all of the 4-bit numbers in the
    table below along with their decimal equivalents, in order. We’ve started the first three for you.

    Binary: 4-bit number Decimal Binary: 4-bit number Decimal

    0000 0 1000 8
    0001 1 1001 9
    0010 2 1010 10
    0011 3 1011 11
    0100 4 1100 12
    0101 5 11010 13
    0110 6 1110 14
    0111 7 1111 15

    8-bit numbers with exactly one ​1


    The table below contains ​every​ 8-bit number that has exactly one ​1​ in it. Write down the decimal
    equivalent next to each one. Do you notice a pattern?

    Binary: 8-bit number Decimal Binary: 8-bit number Decimal


    (with exactly one ​1​) (with exactly one ​1)​

    0000 0001 1 0001 0000 16


    0000 0010 2 0010 0000 32
    0000 0100 4 0100 0000 64
    0000 1000 8 1000 0000 128

    Conversion Practice!
    Using your own binary skills (aided by the flippy do or binary odometer) fill in the decimal and binary
    equivalents below.

    What’s the Decimal Number? What’s the Binary Number?


    Binary Decimal Binary Decimal

    100 4 101 5
    101 5 10001 17
    1101 13 11111 63
    0001 1111 31 1000000 64
    0010 0000 32 1111111 127
    1010 1010 170 100000000 256*
    1111 1111 255 1000000001 513*
    NOTE​: a short binary number like ​101​ is assumed to have *NOTE: 256 and 513 ​exceed the capacity of the flippy-do
    leading 0s for all the other bits, like: ​00000101. ​ Typically large but you can work it logically following what you know
    binary numbers are grouped in 4-bit chunks to improve about patterns with binary numbers.
    readability, for example: ​0110​ ​0101​ ​1010

    Questions:

    1. There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. What is it and why does this
    pattern occur?

    The odd numbers end in 1, while the even numbers end in 0. This is because the binary system
    is based on squaring numbers, and the results of these exponents will always be even. A 2^0 (1)
    is necessary to make the number odd.

    2. How many bits would you need if you wanted to have the ability to count up to 1000?

    Ten

    3. How high could you count in binary if you used all 10 of your fingers as bits? (finger up means 1,
    finger down means 0)

    Up to 1023
