Binary Birthday Bracelets (3-5) (6-8)

Blog by Ashlee

Introduction: We are looking at another numbering system. We have a base 10 system. That means we have 10 numbers in our system. We looked at a base 5 system. But, our main focus is a base 2 system, which is called binary.

Birth date code: 

1 = dark blue beads

0 = lavender beads

Dividers = black beads

Teacher note: We used our birthday information in the form of MM/DD/YYYY then converted each of the three numbers to binary. Different color beads were used to represent 1's, 0's, and dividers.
