Search Algorithms, Efficiency, & Code Tracing
This lesson helps teachers explain how computers find things in a list, and helps students learn how different search methods work. It shows the difference between checking every item one by one (linear search) and cutting the list in half each time (binary search). Students also learn how to follow code step-by-step, fix errors, and understand how long a search might take. Using simple examples, like roller coasters, makes the lesson fun and easy to follow. It builds important skills students w

Binary Math
This handout is used to help the students convert Binary Code into Base 2 numbers. 0's mean off, 1's mean on. Instead of using Base 10, teach the students base 2, convert, and perform the functions. This is the final product after a study of Binary Code and Base 2.
There are quite a few lessons online with Binary and Base 2, but I created this to go with what I found online.
