---
### Introduction (10 minutes):
1. **Greeting and Attendance (2 minutes)**
- Welcome students to the class and take attendance.
2. **Introduction to the topic (8 minutes)**
- Begin with a brief review of the base two numbering system.
- Explain the relevance of binary numbers in computing and digital systems.
- Provide simple examples of binary numbers (e.g., 1010 in base two equals 10 in base ten).
### Direct Instruction (20 minutes):
1. **Binary Multiplication (10 minutes)**
- Illustrate the rules of binary multiplication:
- 0 × 0 = 0
- 0 × 1 = 0
- 1 × 0 = 0
- 1 × 1 = 1
- Show an example on the whiteboard:
- Multiply 101 by 11 in base two.
- Step-by-step:
```
101
× 11
-----
101 (101 × 1)
101 (101 shifted one place to the left)
------
1111
```
- Emphasize aligning digits correctly and addition of intermediate results.
2. **Binary Division (10 minutes)**
- Explain the concept of binary division by comparing it to long division in base ten.
- Provide a step-by-step example:
- Divide 1101 by 10 in base two.
- Step-by-step:
```
10 | 1101
- 10
----
10
- 10
----
01
```
- Review how to handle remainders in binary division.
### Guided Practice (15 minutes):
1. **Binary Multiplication Practice (7 minutes)**
- Students work on simple problems:
- Multiply 110 × 101
- Multiply 10 × 111
- Discuss answers as a class.
2. **Binary Division Practice (8 minutes)**
- Students work on simple problems:
- Divide 1100 by 10
- Divide 10101 by 11
- Discuss answers as a class.
### Independent Practice (10 minutes):
- Distribute worksheets with a variety of binary multiplication and division problems.
- Students solve the problems individually.
- Walk around the classroom to provide assistance as needed.
### Conclusion (5 minutes):
1. **Review and Recap (3 minutes)**
- Summarize key points:
- Rules for binary multiplication and division.
- Importance of problem alignment and handling remainders.
2. **Q&A and Homework Assignment (2 minutes)**
- Address any remaining questions from students.
- Assign homework from the textbook or additional worksheet for further practice.
### Assessment:
- Monitor student participation during guided and independent practice.
- Evaluate completed worksheets for accuracy and completeness.
- Homework will be reviewed in the next class to ensure understanding.
### Homework:
- Assign a worksheet containing both multiplication and division problems in base two for further practice.
---
### Differentiation:
- **For Advanced Students:**
- Provide more complex problems or ask them to explain their solutions to peers.
- **For Struggling Students:**
- Offer additional one-on-one or small group support.
- Utilize digital tools or visual aids to reinforce concepts.
### Reflection:
- After the lesson, assess what worked well and what could be improved.
- Gather student feedback and adjust future lesson plans accordingly.
