Binary Numbers

Worksheets in which students discover how a computer stores numbers, pictures and text. They start with dot cards, away from the computer, and then convert between binary and decimal. Next come bits and bytes, pixel pictures, colours and letters, and binary addition in columns. The last two sheets introduce two's complement and overflow.
