6H – Learning about the binary system

6H are a lesson ahead of the other classes in Y6, so we are going to do some learning about binary – the basis of all coding. We’ll be learning about the difference between denary and binary systems. We’ll be revisiting binary later in the year, but the game we’ll be playing today is as much a test of mental maths skills as it is learning about coding! Click here to start!

If you want to take your learning home, this website, whilst aimed at GCSE students, gives a brilliant introduction to binary – the first 3 slides are fairly straightforward and explain how binary relates to data storage.
