Set Induction

Students will watch a short clip made by students from Point Fortin West Secondary School. Students will introduce
the rules of binary addition.
3 mins
Description of Teaching/Learning Activities:

Teacher Activities

Teacher (CTL) asks students to

reiterate the four rules of binary
addition.
0+0=0
0+1=1
1+0=1
1+1=10
Both teachers will distribute the
binary to decimal converter, the
rules of binary addition as well as
two binary cards with the figure 1 on
one side and the figure 0 on the
other side.
Starting with the simplest binary
addition, the teacher (ZAM) will
present a problem to students.
The teacher (CTL) will then invite
two students to help work out two
more complex binary problems. Both
the class and the teachers will assist

Student Expected Activities

Students will participate in the activity

and answer questions. (Engaging)

Students will mentally calculate the

answer and raise their binary card to
display their answer. (Engaging)

Students will solve the problems, alone

or with assistance from the class and
teachers. (Engaging)

Students will work in their groups,

if necessary
Teachers will divide the class into
groups of twos and threes,
distribute assignments and explain
their challenges.

The strongest students will be given

Task A

Average ability students will be

given Task B.

solving their problems individually. They

will use peer assessment as well as the
answers that will be provided by the
teachers to determine if their answers
are correct.
Each group will be required to work
individually as well as collectively to
complete their task.
(Engaging)

15 mins

Task A - students will work in pairs with

each students filling in the answer for
one side. The first two rows will be
added to get the answer for the third
row. Then the second and third row will
be added to provide the answer for the
fourth row and this continues until all
the rows are filled. The last row
completed by each of the pair must then
be added together and presented to the
teacher. If the answer is correct the pair
has completed their task.
Task B students will work in groups of
three. For mission 1, two students will fill
the first two cards. Though their
problems are different, their answers
must be the same. Once they both have
the same answer, they will share it with
the third student who will write it into
his/her first row. This student will solve
the problem and then compare their
answer to the one on the board. If
Page | 4

he/she is successful, then they receive

their cards for mission two. This
continues until they have completed all
four missions.
Weaker ability students will be given
Task C.

One teacher will supervise the gifted

and average students while the
other will supervise and assist the
weaker students.

Tasks C Students will work in pairs to

play the game Tic Tac Toe. After
completing a game, students will begin
another until they have completed four
games. The pair will then use the three
digits in the top row of game one and
add it to the three digits in the top row
of game four. They will present their
answer to the teacher and if it is correct,
they would have completed their
mission

On completion of their tasks teams will

receive a token.
