We are wrapping up a unit on abstraction that focuses on binary code or machine language. Students have dabbled in converting back and forth between decimal and binary numbers, and writing kind, positive words with binary code for uppercase letters of the alphabet. For the culminating project, we tried something new.
 |
| We brainstormed words and considered symbols to represent binary code. |
 |
| Next they created binary words and put them onto construction paper. |
 |
The final products are numbered and hung on posters around the classroom.

 |
Getting creative with cardboard to make switches for their final project.

Students teamed up to create a variety of artifacts showing something about binary code. Some options included counting in binary, showing letters of the alphabet, or spelling out words and acronyms. I was excited to try this final project and love the creativity and enthusiasm I saw from all of my classes.
