Do you want to work on this together and the other lessons we need to complete?

Minimal Spanning Trees and Graphs - Students will use problem solving skills and collaboration, while learning about different types of mathematical solutions to real world problems. Working collaboratively with others from class.Problem Solving - Minimal Spanning Trees and Graphs
The final Unit 2 project for my ECS classes was called “Let’s Travel.” I used it as my Unit 2 Challenge. (Days 18-21)

I worked on the tower lesson.
I would like to post a lesson about binary numbers
I taught the Binary Number Lesson. My lesson plan pretty much followed what was in the CS unit. My students enjoyed the activities presented in the unit. At the end of the lesson, one of my students ran across the Cisco Binary Game and shared the site with the other students and it became a big hit in class. Unit 2: Day 10-12 Binary. CS Unit 2 – Days 10-12.docx (99.7 KB)
I enjoyed working with you Sandy on this lesson My students enjoyed working with the binary cards, converting them to decimal numbers. They turned it into a game which made it moire fun. Also, they played the CISCO binary game on line and enjoyed the game.
Day 10-12: Binary Lesson Plan: Day 10-12 Binary
Unit 2 – Days 10-12 Binary Lesson

Lesson Summary:
Day 10
Journal Entry:
How high can you count with your
ten fingers? Explain.
Students will review how to count using decimal
numbers.
Introduce the binary representation and counting
in binary using the CS Unplugged activities. Have students come in front of class to
demonstrate.

Bernadette and Sandy,
Great job! I like the Cisco Binary game also - check out this unplugged to Scratch activity that would build on existing knowledge.

Lesson Plan: Day 10-12 Binary
I plan to do Day 17–Minimal Spanning Trees asking students to pick 10 national monuments, parks, etc. to visit, then plan a summer trip tic like AAA would for the trip.
