• When a binary number card is not
showing, it is represented by a zero.
• When it is showing, it is represented by a
one. This is the binary number system.

LET’S REVIEW

• Q: What is the language used by the


computers?

A: Binary Code
• Q: What are the two digits used in
binary code?

A: 0 and 1
• Algorithm is a funny word.
• It is really just a set of step-by-step
instructions.
• Algorithms tell computers and other
machines what to do.
• Humans use algorithms too!

If you ever walk from one place to another, you might have developed an algorithm to
complete the task. For example, an algorithm to walk from school to home, might be:

•Walk 3 blocks north


•Turn left
•Walk 5 blocks west
•Turn right
•Walk 3 blocks north

Let’s practice making an algorithm by navigating a maze!
