What do we want the pupils to learn? How will I organise the class and resources? For the main tasks, how will I adapt the task to How do I know if they have learnt? What For each task what are the main learning What key instructions are needed? What will make sure that all pupils are challenged? strategies will I use to check this? points (skills, Knowledge, understanding)? the class be doing?

10 mins Starter. Class work by themselves, writing Check whiteboards for answers. answer on mini whiteboards. Ask Listen to reasoning for the answers. Mini whiteboards for powers of 2. somebody who has answered Correct answers that are given if correctly how they have got their necessary. Ask class to write the answers to: answer. Go through reasoning on the 22 (2 x 2) = 4 whiteboard. 25 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) = 32 28 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) = 256

Ask class to write the answers for 2x =: 64 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) (26) 8 (2 x 2 x 2) (23) 1 (20)

Ask class for their explanation. 15 mins Explain to class what binary numbers Class following PowerPoint on board. Watch class copy the binary monster. are: Listening to explanation of binary Ask class to self-assess / mark their 1 = 20 digits. own work by asking for the codes for 2 = 21 each row. 4 = 22 Class using binary monsters hand out 8 = 23 to copy the binary monster. Working Etc. out the code for each row.

Explain to class the binary digits are either on or off. Show to class the binary monster, and each block

represents a binary digit which is either on (black) or off (white). For all blocks which are on in a row add up the binary values for those blocks and write the number next to the row.

Binary monster exercise. Class copying the example monster shown, and working out the binary value for each row.

Check classes binary values. 15 mins Pupils colouring their own binary Pupils colouring their own binary Pupils can make their binary Peer assessment. Are the monsters monster, and working out the codes monster, and working out the codes monsters as difficult or as easy as the same? Can they correctly convert for each row. for each row. they like. from the codes to the binary digits, and hence the monster. Explain to the class how to convert Show class the procedure for from the code into the binary digits. converting the code into the binary Take away the largest binary digit you digits. can first of all, and then take away the next binary digit you can etc. Colour Pupils copying their partners code, the blocks that are taken away (as and drawing the binary monster. these are on). Show an example on Should be the same monsters. the whiteboard for a number between 1 and 128.

When complete, their partner must copy the code to their partner who must work out what the monster looks like, using the procedure above.

Compare monsters with their partner (should be the same!)

10 mins Pupils working in pairs, playing the Pupils playing the dominoes game in Can each pair correctly identify the binary decimal dominoes. Class have pairs, matching the binary numbers to connecting trail. to work out the decimal equivalent to their decimal equivalents. the binary numbers. There are 11 connections in total.

Lesson evaluation - to be completed after teaching this lesson. Reflect on what you did that either enabled or hampered learning.

Pupil progress Did you achieve your SMART targets? Did the pupils meet the learning outcomes? How do you know?

Action to take next lesson with the class a) to improve my teaching and b) to improve the classes learning. Please refer to the Profile Characteristics.
