Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.66 Decode and Encode Simple Digital Messages skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Before the group shares its reasoning, which plan best helps a class send the digital message EARTH accurately?

AInvent a new key after the receiver starts decoding.

BSend symbols in any order and hope the word appears.

CUse no code key because digital messages decode themselves.

DAgree on a code key, write the symbols in order, and check the message after decoding for this climate comparison.

Solution & Explanation:Clear code rules and checking help prevent encoding and decoding errors.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Before the group shares its reasoning, a binary message for PLANT has one missing bit. Why should students check the code before decoding?

AMissing bits always make the message louder.

BChecking the code removes the need for a receiver.

COne missing symbol can change the decoded message.

DA code works better when symbols are missing.

Solution & Explanation:Digital codes depend on the order and presence of each symbol.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Before the group shares its reasoning, students encode SOUND using a letter-code table. What must the receiver use to decode it correctly?

AA different table made for another message.

BThe same code table that matches symbols to letters.

COnly the color of the paper.

DA guess based on the longest symbol.

Solution & Explanation:A receiver needs the agreed code key to translate symbols back into the message.
