Lesson Presentation

Step I: Introduction (10 minutes)


Begin with a brief review of the base 10 number system.
Ask:
> “What base do we use every day?”
> “Have you heard of base 2 before?”
Link to the new topic: Base 2 (Binary) Number System.
Explain that base 2 is used in computers and digital systems.

Step II: Counting in Base 2 (20 minutes)


Explanation:
- Base 2 uses only two digits: 0 and 1.
- Each digit position represents a power of 2 (from right to left).

Example table:
Base 10 → Base 2
0→0
1→1
2 → 10
3 → 11
4 → 100
5 → 101
6 → 110
7 → 111
8 → 1000

Activity: Use flashcards to show binary equivalents of numbers 1–10. Practice: Let students
count from 0 to 10 in base 2.

Step III: Addition in Base 2 (20 minutes)


Explanation:
Binary addition rules:
0+0=0
0+1=1
1+0=1
1 + 1 = 10 (write 0 and carry 1)
Examples:
1. 101 + 10 = 111
2. 11 + 1 = 100

Activity: Work out examples on the board. Give students 3 binary addition problems to
solve in pairs.
Step IV: Subtraction in Base 2 (20 minutes)
Explanation:
Binary subtraction rules:
0−0=0
1−0=1
1−1=0
0 − 1 = 1 (borrow 1 from the next left digit)
Examples:
1. 10 − 1 = 1
2. 100 − 1 = 11
3. 1010 − 1001 = 1

Activity: Demonstrate subtraction step-by-step with borrowing. Students solve a few


subtraction questions on their own.

Step V: Summary and Evaluation (10 minutes)


Summary Points:
- Base 2 uses only digits 0 and 1.
- Counting in binary increases like powers of 2.
- Addition and subtraction in base 2 follow specific rules.

Evaluation Questions:
1. Write the base 2 form of the following numbers: 3, 5, 8.
2. Add the binary numbers: 101 + 110
3. Subtract: 1110 - 1011
4. What digits are used in base 2?

Assignment
1. Convert the following base 10 numbers to base 2:
a. 9
b. 14
2. Add the following binary numbers:
a. 1001 + 110
3. Subtract:
a. 1101 - 101

Remarks
Most students actively participated and understood the concept of binary operations.
Objectives for the lesson were successfully achieved.
