Binary Number Cards


Work with your group to figure out which cards should be face up or face down to get the correct number of dots. Put a
“U” under a card that should be face up and a “D” under a card that should be face down. The first one has been done
for you.

How
many
dots? What’s the lowest number you can make?

1
13 U U D U ______________________________________

5 D U D U
What’s the highest number you can make?

10 U D U D
15
_______________________________________

2 D D U D

Using the Pattern

You can use the same pattern even without the cards. Shade over the cards you do NOT want to use to make your
number. The first one has been done for you.
