FOCUS QUESTION

How do binary numbers represent values with only 0 and 1?

The map breaks this topic into its core concepts, connected by labeled relationships. Each link is written so it can be read as a complete statement — not just an unlabeled line between boxes.

Concepts and relationships

  • Binary Numbers use only 0 and 1.
  • Binary Numbers work in Base 2.
  • Binary Numbers stored as Bit.
  • Bit grouped into Byte.
  • Binary Numbers rely on Place Value.
  • Binary Numbers convert to Decimal.

How to read this map

See how binary uses only 0 and 1 in base 2, stored as bits grouped into bytes, and how it converts to decimal.

Learning objectives

  • Explain base 2.
  • Distinguish bits and bytes.
  • Use place value in binary.
  • Convert between binary and decimal.
