Binary Mystery Pictures Freebie
Math, Algebra, Place Value, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Binary Mystery Pictures This is an extension activity used after the students have had several lessons on place value for base 2. They should have also had practice converting base 10 numbers using 0 and 1 to write numbers in base 2 (binary). The picture activity takes conversion one step further, having the student filling in each box as a 0 or 1, with a 1 represented by a shaded box. Converting the given numbers from base 10 to base 2 will reveal a pixelated image, as a computer would draw it on the screen. The grid is divided into 2 main sections (A and B), each with 8 smaller columns across. Notice the two columns of numbers along the grid to the left. The column of numbers on the left correspond to section A and the numbers on the right correspond to section B. Directions: 1. For each row, convert each base 10 number to base 2. Show your answer by shading in the appropriate boxes in the corresponding column. A shaded box represents that place value as a “1.” Example: In the grid below, the first row lists 0 and 0, so therefore, no boxes are shaded. In the second row in section A, 0 is listed so again no boxes in that section's row are shaded. In the second row, section B, 15 is shown. To represent 15 as an 8-digit binary number, you would shade the first four boxes from the right to represent “00001111” in the place values filled. 2. Continue converting numbers for each row until the picture is revealed.

Civics and Government 4th Grade (15 Day) Unit
Social Studies, ELA, Government, Reading, Writing, Common Core, Grade 3, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Are you introducing 4th graders to the concept of government and its role in our states? Through engaging activities, students will explore the differences among national, state, and local and state governments, understand the importance of laws and justice, and learn how governments function to serve the people. This 15 day unit includes day by day planning with suggested activities for differentiation. Typically used in a high ability classroom, it is appropriate for all students. Teaching methods used: Simulation, foldables, Nonfiction research, graphic organizers, group work, individual work, (suggested) guest speakers, and traditional assessment Unit includes: Alignment page showing 4th grade social studies state standards, Common Core Reading and Writing standards, and National Council of Social Studies Themes 15 day lesson plan broken into standard, reading/information source, and activities Vocabulary journal + answer key Foldable activity for three branches of government Individual Rights in Action choice project Mock election simulation Sequencing activity for election process 6 nonfiction reading passages (+ answer keys) How a Bill Becomes a Law Simulation (all three branches of government represented, based off of picture book Click, Clack, Moo by Doreen Cronin) Rubrics for all projects and answer keys where applicable Traditional vocabulary quiz List of possible guest speakers Government focus: Since fourth grade is more state based, the content and projects focus mainly on state government. The branches of government and responsibilities of important people within the government include national organizations and expectations (i.e.: President, Congress, and Supreme Court). If it is an election year, the election activity can easily be adjusted to "Elect a President" instead of making a decision about what to vote about within their school. I also recommend extending this simulation, instead of passing a bill into a law. You will want to look up a kid/student friendly version of your state's constitution to help you in some activities, or transition to U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights. Tags: government, elections, legislative, executive, judicial, state and local government, citizen, how a bill becomes a law, national government, governor File Type: PDF (not editable) Number of Pages: 65 (including curriculum plan and answer keys) Grade: 4 - depending on state standards, may overlap with second or fourth grade government content

As a homeschool mom teaching a 9th grader, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find academic resources that challenge our teens intellectually and strengthen their biblical worldview. That is exactly why I created High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle — a faith-based resource designed to dig beneath the surface of what’s often considered just a “fun holiday.” This reading passage goes beyond costumes and candy to uncover the deeper history of Halloween—its ancient origins, its transformation through the church, and how it is viewed today. But more importantly, it helps students/homeschoolers explore how Christians can think critically about culture, tradition, and spiritual truth. Each section invites deep reflection on what it means to live faithfully in a world that often celebrates darkness. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: 1 in-depth Christian worldview reading passage 20 higher-order critical thinking questions & guided answer key 10 printable note-taking sheets for information retention NO-PREP, ready-to-use resource TOPICS COVERED History and origins of Halloween Christian response to cultural traditions Symbolism and meaning from a biblical perspective Modern commercialization and gospel-centered engagement This High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle resource was born out of the same need many Christian homeschool parents share: the desire to teach our children to think deeply and biblically in a world that often blurs truth. High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle provides that bridge between rigorous learning and heartfelt discipleship. It encourages students/homeschoolers to confront cultural questions with confidence rooted in Scripture and helps parents facilitate meaningful, grace-filled conversations at home. Whether you use it during the fall season, as part of a worldview or apologetics course, or simply as a timely devotional study, it is a tool that can grow with your student/homeschooler year after year. This is not just a reading and worksheet set—it’s an investment in critical thinking, biblical literacy, and godly discernment. Equip your homeschool with resources that inspire—not just to learn history, but to see God’s truth woven through it.
