Unit Award Scheme

demonstrated the ability to

1. identify three types of data a computer stores

2. identify the denary placeholder numbers for a 4-bit binary system (8, 4, 2, 1) and for an 8-bit binary system (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1)

3. convert between binary and denary up to denary number 15

shown knowledge of

4. how the binary number system can be used to represent whole numbers

5. the placeholder numbering systems for binary conversion, eg number to the left is a multiplication by two of the previous number, the system works from right to left

acquired an understanding of

6. the purpose of data and instructions in computer systems being represented in binary form

7. how a computer recognises data as a series of 1s and 0s

8. what a bit is when working with binary in a computational thinking context

9. how the denary number system and binary number system work.
