Unit Representing images using binary

Year level: 5-6 Topic: Data representations Time: 4 hours

Digital images are encoded in binary. Students learn about pixels and the way computers store an image as an array of individual pixels, each of which has a particular colour. Students make connections between the amount of data used by the computer to store, transmit and create an image and the file size of different images (generally, the more pixels and more bits to encode the image, the larger the file size).
