CLASS After completing this presentation, you

OBJECTIVES  should be able to: Use Polya's four step

process to solve number systems involving
expectations binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal 

and outcomes
TODAY'S
LESSON
Brief Introduction

George Polya
known as the father of modern problem
solving, he did extensive studies and wrote
numerous mathematical papers and three
books about problem solving.
UNDERSTANDING THE LESSON
STEP # 1 UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

STEP # 2 DEVISE A PLAN (TRANSLATE).

STEP # 3 CARRY OUT THE PLAN (SOLVE)

STEP # 4 LOOK BACK (CHECK AND

INTERPRET).
 Example # 1 BINARY NUMBER
SYSTEM

Given : (101101)2 in Decimal

LOOK AT Step 1 Understand the problem

THESE Step 2 Devise a plan

1 x 2^5+ 0 x 2^4 + 1 x 2^3 + 1 x 2^2 + 0 x 2^1 + 1
EXAMPLES x 2^0
Step 3 Carry out the plan (solve)
1 x 32 + 0 x 16 + 1 x 8 + 1 x 4 + 0 x 2 + 1 x 1 = 32
+ 8 + 4 + 1= 45
Step 4 Look back (check and interpret)
FINAL ANSWER : (45)10
 EXAMPLE # 2 OCTAL
NUMBER SYSTEM

Given : 42(8) - 16(8)

42 - 16 = 24
Step 4 Look back (check and interpret)
FINAL ANSWER 42(8) - 16(8) = 24(8)
 EXAMPLE # 3 HEXADECIMAL
NUMBER SYSTEM

Given : 4A(16) - B(16)

4A - B = 3F
Step 4 Look back (check interpret)
FINAL ANSWER 4A(16) - B(16) = 3F (16)
