When I first started to learn binary I though of this weird but true theory, the theory was to count in binary I much as I did and label each number in binary with a number in decimal from 1 and up and so on. Counting in binary can confuse your head for about 30 minutes after you stop but that's no big deal just as long as you know both numeral systems. I have a few scans of papers that I worked on in school (5 Sheets of paper), I will upload links to them if I get any replies, that way you don't have to spend about 2 hours counting in binary up to 11111111 (256th number). Even I am amazed at my work, I'm in seventh grade and I already know how to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide in binary, you will have the oppertunity to do the same in this topic. Binary is a really fun numeral system!!!
