Project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/160588454/
Ideas:
- Remix to show the base-10 (decimal) equivalent number of binary number being displayed (one way to do is done in the above example)
- Remix to not show leading zeros
- Remix or rewrite to count in another base
- Rewrite to count in base-2 only using a single sprite (see also base-10 counter)
Example Curriculum: Ontario Grade 4-6 mathematics, NSN Strand
Note: This activity is appropriate for grade 4-8 or for any student in any grade who is ready and interested in exploring the concept of place value using Scratch.
Creating a place value counter in Scratch in base-10 and in another base can consolidate understanding of place value concepts to a high degree of understanding.
