★How to use this resource ideas and teaching notes

After completing these activities students should be able to:

- apply the Binary method to other coding problems

- gain an understanding of computer language

- problem solve errors and correct them

- eventually move onto more advanced languages of coding

Please MODEL and clearly discuss directions for this activity to allow students the greatest chance of success

Please Note: When using letters, all binary coding letters start with a zero first, therefore it is often omitted when writing coding. For this reason, I have chosen to include 7 digits.

Teacher Notes: Printing out the 'St. Patrick's Day Tags' onto colored card makes for a great classroom display.
