Binary #MicDropMath (#MicDropCS) Lessons
This series of lessons is designed to take students’ understanding of the binary number system way beyond the well known fact that it uses zeroes and ones.
While each lesson can be used on its own or in different orders and combinations depending on your learning objectives, it is recommended they are used in the order given here:
• Binary #MicDropMath Patterns
• Binary #MicDropMath Build Your Own Cards
• Binary #MicDropMath Multiply This
• Human Computers – Creative Message Communication
Binary #MicDropMath Build Your Own Cards
This lesson will demonstrate to students how to make the binary #MicDropMath cards. A common question when engaging students with the Binary #MicDropMath is: “Why are those numbers on the cards?” In this lesson, they ...
