Activity Guide - Flippy Do PT 1 - Unit 1 Lesson 4

1) The document provides guidance and questions for an activity to practice converting between binary and decimal numbers using 4-bit and 8-bit binary numbers. It includes tables to fill in the binary equivalents for decimal numbers and vice versa. 2) The questions ask students to notice patterns when comparing odd and even decimal numbers and their binary representations. They also ask about the effect of adding zeros to binary numbers and whether certain binary numbers have the same or different values. 3) The final questions ask students to find the binary or decimal equivalents for sample values, how adding a zero to a binary number affects its value, and how many bits would be needed to count up to 1000.

All 4-Bit Numbers: Fill in the binary equivalents for the decimal numbers below. We’ve started the first
three for you.

Binary: 4-bit number Decimal Binary: 4-bit number Decimal

0000 0 1000 8
0001 1 1001 9
0010 2 1010 10
0011 3 1101 11
0100 4 1100 12
0101 5 1101 13
0110 6 1110 14
0111 7 1111 15

What do you notice when you compare the odd numbers with the even numbers? What might explain this?
I noticed that if the last digit of a number is one then the decimal number is binary but when it is zero the
number is even. I think because the number with zero can be divided by an even number while with 1 at the
end they might be able to divide by the odd numbers.

Binary Numbers with exactly one 1: Complete the chart with all 8-bit binary numbers that have exactly
one 1. We’ve done the first two for you.

Binary: 8-bit number Decimal Binary: 8-bit number Decimal


(with exactly one 1) (with exactly one 1)

0000 0001 1 0001 0000 16


0000 0010 2 00100 0000 32
0000 0100 4 0100 0000 64
0000 1000 8 1000 0000 128

What do you notice about the decimal equivalents above?


I noticed that the decimal numbers double while the binary moves over to the left.

Conversion Practice: Find the equivalent binary or decimal numbers below.

Binary Decimal Binary Decimal

100 5
101 17
1101 63
0001 1111 64
0010 0000 127

.

When you add a zero to the right of a decimal number, it multiplies its value by 10 (For example, “15” becomes “150”).
What similar result happens to the value of a binary number when you add a zero on the right? (For example, “11”
would become “110”).

Do the binary numbers “0011” and “000011” have the same value or different values? Explain.

Would two bits be enough to assign a unique binary number to each vowel in the English language? Explain.

How many bits would you need if you wanted to count up to the decimal number 1000?
