AC9TDI6K04 | Years 5 to 6 Digital Technologies: Data representation
Content Descriptor
Content descriptor explore how data can be represented by off and on states (zeros and ones in binary)
Strand

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 making collaboratively a long thread with beads representing binary for the letters that spell the Country/Place name in the local First Nations language and English, and could be displayed as a ‘binary banner’ as an Acknowledgement of Country that we are on the Traditional Lands of the <insert name> Peoples
- • Elaboration demonstrating that an on/off state in a circuit can represent the digits one and zero, and this is how digital systems represent data
- • Elaboration recognising how the answer to a yes/no question can be represented using on/off states, for example switching a light on or off in a circuit or a long or short dash (beep) in Morse code
