Introduction
Interest Approach
- We will begin our dive into digital systems by taking some readings on standard gages.
Learning Experiences
- Students will learn the differences between digital and analog systems.
- Students will be counting (up and down) in binary.
- Students will be converting numbers from decimal to binary.
- Students will be converting numbers from binary to decimal.
Sub-goals
- This unit will serve as a refresher to using exponents.
- Students will learn additional skills on their calculator.
Task
National Standards
Knowledge V SYSTEMS
- Skills F Demonstrate an understanding of and be able to use electrical and electronic engineering technologies
- Performance element 4: Apply knowledge of AC and DC systems
- Performance element 8: Identify the difference between analog and digital signals
Knowledge I ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS
- Skills B Apply and use algebraic, geometric and trigonometric relationships, characteristics, and properties to solve problems
- Performance element 1: Identify whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.
- Performance element 2: Demonstrate knowledge of basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Performance Objectives:
Using any notes but no calculator, students will be able to identify (select) properties of a digital system and convert (calculate) binary numbers to decimal numbers. Students are expected to be correct 75% of the time or more.
Process
1. Bell work
Please complete the following 4 question quiz (~5 minutes or less)
2. Lecture Video 1: Digital Systems Introduction
Here is the video lecture for digital systems (~10 minutes)
3. Digital Systems Comprehension Quiz:
Complete the following quiz about digital systems (~10 minutes)
4. Video Lecture 2: Binary Numbers:
Here is the video lecture for binary numbers (~ 15 minutes)
5. Binary Numbers Quiz:
Complete the following quiz about binary numbers (~15 minutes)
6. Log out of all computers and make sure they are properly stored.
Conclusion
Additional Credit for Students:
Hand in a sheet counting from zero (0) to (63) in binary. This will take six bits, so be sure to use leading zeros.
I've done the first four numbers for you:
000000 = 0
000001 = 1
000010 = 2
000011 = 3
