Imagine a base 4 pebble board It does not matter what pile you
look at The same rule always holds. 4 pebbles in this pile equals 4
pebbles in this pile equals 4 pebbles in this pile equals 1 pebble
in this pile equals 1 pebble in this pile equals 1 pebble in this
pile equals

We think and compute in the base 10. BASE 10 is the DEFAULT
BASE We will learn algorithms for converting numerals: 1.) TO THE
BASE 10 FROM ANOTHER BASE 2.) TO ANOTHER BASE FROM THE BASE 10
Slide 18
converting TO the base 10: 2 1 4 = _________ 10 base 4
Slide 19
converting TO the base 10: 2 1 4 = _________ 10 base 4 2 4 + 1

Slide 20
converting TO the base 10: 1 1 1 2 = _________ 10 base 2 1 2 2
+ 1 2 + 1 7
