Fascinating Fact:

Binary code uses sequences of ones and zeros to store every song, picture, and game you have ever saved, the world written in patterns.

In 11 Plus Maths, sequences like binary help pupils understand mathematical structure. They show how repeating patterns form the foundation of computing, coding, and everyday technology.

Key Terms

Binary Code: A system that uses only the numbers 0 and 1 to represent data in computers and digital devices.
Pattern: A sequence of numbers, shapes, or sounds that repeat or follow a logical rule.
Sequence: A list of numbers arranged according to a specific rule, such as doubling or adding each time.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is binary code in maths?

Binary code is a way of representing numbers using only 0 and 1. It is the language that computers use to process information.

How does binary relate to number sequences?

Binary follows a sequence rule that doubles each time, similar to how other mathematical patterns increase by fixed steps or factors.

Why are sequences important in maths?

Sequences help students recognise patterns, predict outcomes, and understand how maths connects to coding, music, and real-world systems.
