Step / Time Teacher's Activities Student's Activities Learning Points
Introduction (5 min)
Write 13₁₀. Ask: 'Can we write this in binary?' Explain that we convert by dividing by 2 repeatedly. [Preview only]
Students follow the division steps. They convert 5 to 101₂ alongside the teacher.
To convert decimal to binary, repeatedly divide by 2 and read remainders from bottom to top.
Step 1 (10 min)
Give: 7, 10, 14, 15. 7₁₀ → 7÷2=3 r1; 3÷2=1 r1; 1÷2=0 r1 → 111₂. 10₁₀ → 10÷2=5 r0; 5÷2=2 r1; 2÷2=1 r0 [Preview only]
Students convert in their notebooks. They compare answers with partners.
Step-by-step division gives the binary equivalent.
