Binary/Ascii

Binary/ASCII Blog Post Sample Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers. You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself! ASCII is a set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard). I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code! Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below!

 

 What do you think? Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII? Could you have a try for yourself? Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?

Angles

In maths, we have been doing angles. We have been learning how to measure angles and how to name them. Do you know all of the types of angles? If an angle is lower than 90 degrees it is an acute angle, if the angle is 90 degrees it is a right angle, if an angle is higher than 90 degrees it is an obtuse angle, if it is 180 degrees it will be a line and like how Mr Shaw says it if it is a flexible angle it is a reflex angle
