Unit Overview:
Students develop an understanding of binary and why it is central to the way a computer works. They practise using binary conversion techniques, learn about network speeds, then go on
to learn about data packets and transfer around networks (including the internet).

can only exist in one of two
states. In a computer, those
two states are 1 or 0, and a
bit of data can only be 1 or

The ones are represented by

shaded squares and the
zeros by blank squares.

Collaborative Activity:
Task 1:
Student should enter the
binary code into the grid.
Each square hold only ONE
bit (zero or one).

Task 2:
Students should draw their
own simple image of an
object in the given grid and
write down the binary code
for their image.
