Standard

​IT-CSP-3

Apply abstractions in digital data to explain how bits are grouped to represent higher-level abstractions, such as numbers and characters.

Learning Target

​IT-CSP-3.1, IT-CSP-3.4

I can model how a combination of abstractions built upon binary sequences can be used to represent all digital data.

I can show multiple levels of abstraction used in computation.
