Description

In this unit pupils will discover that Boolean logic is a way of describing circuits inside a computer. They will recognise logic gates as the building blocks of processors. They will be able to construct logic diagrams, truth tables and simplify Boolean expressions.

This unit builds upon pupils' previous understanding of logic gates from the Computer Systems unit. They will discover logic gates, the building blocks of processors and will develop an understanding of logic gates are used to address real-world problems. Pupils will learn how to construct logic diagrams, truth tables and expressions and they will make the link between computer circuits and logic gates.

  1. Boolean logic and logic gates
  2. Introduction to logic circuits
  3. Logic statements and expressions
  4. Creating logic circuits
