Turning in your Reflection Journal:

This will need to be posted to your weebly on the Blown to Bits section that you set-up for the class.

After creating your Binary Counting Cards, use them to complete & reflect on the following questions:

1. What pattern did you notice in how many dots you drew on each card?

Each card doubled in dots.

2. Describe the game you made up using your binary cards.

You need one set of cards for each player. The players then agree on a number and the first one to make it with their
cards wins.

3. Discuss the effectiveness of your game at helping you learn binary (if you already knew binary then discuss the
games ability to make you quicker & more accurate)

I already know binary and have my tricks to switching between decimal and binary but I think the cards will be a
good way to practice as I am a tactile learner. My game forces players to quickly translate decimal to binary so it will
help me with my speed.

4. What decimal number is being represented with the following binary number?

177
5. A computer is a 32 bit processor -- what does that mean?

A 32 bit processor is capable of handling 32 bit binary numbers anything larger than 32 bit would need to be broken
up into separate sets of memory.

6. What is the largest number that can be represented with an 8 bit processor in a single transaction?

The largest number that can be made is 255

7. How do you represent 0 in binary -- with an 8 bit processor?

00000000

8. Show what the cards would look like to represent the following numbers:
a. 62

b. 24
