Instructional Goal

Terminal Objective

 

The student will be able to convert any given positive integer less than 25510 from base ten to base two, and any positive integer less than 111111112 from base two to base ten, without the use of a calculator.

 

Given a positive integer less than 25510 the student will correctly convert the number from base 10 to base 2 using a self-created table and pencil-and-paper.

 

Given a positive base 2 number less than 111111112 the student will correctly convert the number from base 2 to base 10 using a self-created table and pencil-and-paper.
