Binary and Boolean
Introduction to Boolean logic is fundamental in computing, serving as the foundation for logical operations. It revolves around the concept of true or false, represented by the binary digits 1 and 0. In Year 9 computing, understanding Boolean logic enables students to grasp the essence of decision-making in programming. Through binary conversations, where data is represented using only two symbols, students delve into the basics of digital communication. Additionally, they explore Boolean addition, where logical operations such as AND, OR, and NOT are applied to manipulate binary values, laying the groundwork for complex problem-solving in computer science.
The intention of this unit is to provide an introduction Boolean and Logic Gates, including binary additional and conversion.
Students complete a student portfolio showing their progress and understanding.
The impact of this unit will be measured by the portfolio.
