Binary Mystery Picture: Draw a Picture by Converting from Base 10 to Base 2!
This is an extension activity used after the students have had several lessons on place value for base 2. They should have also had practice converting base 10 numbers using 0 and 1 to write numbers in base 2.
This picture activity takes conversion one step further, having the student filling in each box in the given grid as a 0 or 1, with a 1 represented by a shaded box. Converting the given numbers from base 10 to base 2 will reveal a pixelated image, as a computer would draw it on the screen.
