Number Theory, Lesson 11: Converting Binary to Decimal

Math skill: Convert a Binary Number to Decimal

How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a binary number — add up the place values (powers of 2) where a 1 appears. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 11 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Number Theory, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, Counting 1-Bits in a Binary Number,” covered count the Set Bits in a Number's Binary Form. Next is Lesson 12, GCD via Prime Factorization.”

Every slot above (A, B, C, D) is its own question, and it’s a real, blank RockBlocks beat the whole time — the same drag-and-drop tiles, kit, tempo, sheet music, and drummer view as anywhere else on the site. Tap ❓ Questionin the corner to read the current slot’s problem, build your answer right in the grid, then tap ✓ Check Answerto grade it. Once you’re done, keep going: expand the beat, drop it into a Stack, or save a copy to your own page — nothing here overwrites the lesson itself, so every visitor still starts from the same blank slots.
