About This Course
Master number base conversions through interactive practice and repetition. This course walks you through converting between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal using step-by-step visual exercises on an interactive canvas, then reinforces your skills with six progressively challenging quizzes. You'll start by building intuition — filling in bits one at a time for decimal-to-binary, working through hex digits, and learning how 4-bit nibbles map directly to hexadecimal values. Then you'll test yourself across every conversion direction: decimal ↔ binary, binary ↔ hexadecimal, and mixed conversions that tie it all together. Designed for educators preparing for the FTCE Computer Science K–12 certification.
What You'll Learn
- Convert decimal numbers to their 8-bit binary representation using place-value decomposition.
- Convert binary numbers to their decimal equivalents by summing weighted bit positions.
- Convert decimal numbers to hexadecimal and hexadecimal numbers back to decimal.
