Data representation
This content descriptor sets out learning for Years 5 to 6 Digital Technologies. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration representing data using whole numbers and recognising this is how digital systems represent data, for example converting letters in a message to numbers using their position in the alphabet
- • Elaboration explaining how the data type used to represent data changes the operations that can be performed on it, for example adding numbers performs addition whereas adding strings joins them
