INTRODUCTION
Computers are used everywhere i.e. at homes, libraries, schools, offices etc. It
touches the every aspect of our life making it easier and comfortable. We rely on
computers for most of our daily work. As computers are a daily utility, they have
gained immense importance in day-to-day life. In the technical world, not
knowing about the computer is nothing less than illiteracy. Knowing about
computer and its uses are no more a luxury but a necessity.
By computer education, we mean, gaining the know-how of the basic concepts
related to a computer and gaining the basic knowledge of computer operation.
Learning about the computer basics followed by a practical experience of using
a computer is the key to computer education. As computers are widely used
today, acquiring computer education is the need of the modern times.
Keeping in mind the increasing need of computer, computer.com, a series of 5
books from class 1 to 5 has been written with a focus to impart knowledge
about computers to young minds. This series will help the teachers to make the
children computer friendly according to the level of their knowledge and help
them acquire computer technology skills as required by the curriculum of various
boards. These books are based on new N.C.E.R.T. guidelines and on CCE
pattern.
Purpose of this Manual
There is a Teacher’s Manual for each chapter. Each chapter of the Teacher’s
Manual contains an overview of the chapter in the text. This is a brief summary
of the ideas and why they are included in the text.
This Teacher’s Manual is for those teachers who face the day-to-day challenge
of helping a wide range of students to become more computer literate. It will
give you a great deal of help if you are teaching computers.
This manual is also designed to help students to become more independent
and self-sufficient. It is designed to encourage them to take more responsibility
for their own learning. The book can make a major contribution towards
preparing students for life in their Information Age.
Guided Discovery-based Learning
The teacher should give their students a discovery-based learning. Compared
with many other subjects, Computer Science is not straightforward to teach.
One reason for this is the general nature of the computer field. The computer
field is changing very rapidly. The computers nowadays are available at your
schools or any working place, 20 years after the existing technology would be

Introduction
overpowered by the superior technology. This suggests there must be strong
focus on learning to learn and understand the operating of computers. And the
process of transformation should be to learn the latest computer available for
learning. In addition, you may want to assign quite a number of the activities at
the end of the chapters as homework, and make use of this in assessment.
Purpose
The key idea behind our teaching is that we are educating the people who will
create the future. We provide an education in Computer Science that will retain
its value throughout the career of a person, in the presence of technological
change. We emphasise the principles which underlie the construction and the
analysis of computing systems.
We strike a balance between theory and applications, and we include in our
curriculum appropriate elements of recent research. We expect our computer
literates to play leading roles in industry, the professions and government.
Rather than just cope with the future, we expect our computer literates to create
the future.
Are You a Smart Person?
One of the major goals of a teacher is to help students acquire a more realistic
understanding in the course contents. The teacher should make the students to
say and believe:
1. “I am better at solving some types of problems than others. I am smart
enough to get better at solving any type of problem that I care to spend time
on.”
2. “I regularly encounter and solve problems at home, at work, at play, and at
school. Problems are everywhere. Computers help me out solving the
problems. I am either working at school or I am working outside of school.
Both types of learning are very important to me.”
By the time students get to the classes you teach, they have repeatedly
demonstrated that they are quite smart and that they are good problem solvers.
They have successfully coped with life in our society and with our school system.
One of the things that we know about problem solving is that success breeds
success. Our school system and our society tend to reward people who are
good at solving school and non-school problems. This positive feedback
promotes putting in the time, energy, and thought needed to become still better
at problem solving.
You, as a teacher, have to create a learning environment that strongly encourages
your students to become better problem solvers. One starting point is to help all

Introduction
of your students to realise that they are already quite good at solving problems.
All of your students are “smart”.
Coordination with Computer.com books
An underlying theme in every course should be “How to learn?” A computer
book provides an environment in which students can explore their own learning
styles and work on learning process. Here are a few examples of types of
questions you can explore with your class that will help relate the chapter
materials to several general types of computer literacy courses.
1. Computer applications.
A. What features are common to all word processors (or, to some other
generic piece of software such as a database)? To what extent does
learning one of these features on one particular piece of applications
software carry over to more easily learning the similar feature on a
different piece of applications software?
B. When you are learning to use a word processor (or other generic software)
what is your preferred style for learning? For example, do you like to
experiment on your own, have the teacher explained it, read a book,
watch a fellow classmate do it, or what? Is your preferred learning style
the same as for all other students in the class? Does it work equally well
for all pieces of applications software?
C. In what sense is, “Use a word processor,” a good strategy for solving a
writing problem? The same type of question can be asked for other
types of applications software and other problems.
2. Computer programming
A. What learning strategies do you use in learning a new “primitive” in a
programming language?
B. How do you study for a programming test? Is it the same way that other
students in the class study for programming tests? Is it the same way you
study for a test in other courses?
3. Computer awareness, including exploration of social and vocational
issues.
A. What came before the information Age? What do you think will come
after the information Age? How do such changes affect people? How do
they affect you?
B. How can you tell if a person is computer literate? Are you a computer
literate? Why would a person have to be computer literate?

Introduction
TEACHING PROCEDURES
1. Begin by making sure all students have their books. Ask students to
recall what they have learnt from the previous lesson. Provide a long
wait time. Then accept several students’ responses. (Be aware that a
long wait time allows students to practice Higher-Order thinking skills,
rather than just saying the first thing that pops into their conscious mind.)
2. Display Chapter to the student. Explain the chapter to the student in very
easy to understand way. Help students get started in understanding that
chapter. Have them write on some important idea that they remember
from the chapter. Have your students spend a couple of minutes reading
the Chapter.
3. Assign the activity at the end of the chapter.
4. Closure. Near the end of the period, students get to think about some of
the important ideas that have been covered in that day’s discussions
and readings. Each student is to decide on one idea that he/she felt was
particularly important. As time permits these ideas can be shared by the
whole class, in small groups, written down, or merely thought about at a
personal level.

2. We can run QBasic Program by : Click on Run. Then in the Run dialog box
type CMD and click on Ok. A DoS Window (sometimes called a command
prompt window) starts up. When it first starts, it will be set up to use a
particular part of the hard disk for the QBasic files it may save and read and
easiest method is by pressing F5.
3. The Basic Elements of QBasic : Every programming language consists of
some basic elements which are required to a program. The elements
required to construct a QBasic program consists of a set of characters,
constants, variables and operators.
4. Variable : The word 'Variable' refers to a quantity in a program whose value
can change as many times as required during the execution of a program.
They are used in a program for storing constant values. There are two types
of variables in QBasic.
String Variables : A string variable stores string data. It types declaration
sign is dollor ($).
Numeric Variables : A numeric variable stores numeric data. A numeric
variable can be integer, long integer and single precision or double precision
variables.
5. PRINT Statement : PRINT Statement is used to display message or result
on the screen. Characters or sentences should be written within inverted
commas (" ").
For Example : CLS
PRINT "5 + 7"
6. INPUT Statement : INPUT Statement allows user to input the information
when the program is already running. This command waits for the user to
enter the information and then assigns the information to a variable.
There are two types of variables :
Input A (for numeric value)
Input A $ (for a String)
Syntax : Input [prompt.1;] variable, or Input [prompt,1;] variable $
For Example : CLS
PRINT "What is your name ?
INPUT name $
PRINT "Hello"
INPUT "School"

A. 1.
The digital computers accept all the data in the form of binary numbers, of
using 1 and 0 which represent on and off respectively. Modern computers
work with the collection of 1 and 0 number. A single pair of 1 and 0 is called
bit which is an abbrevation for binary digit. A binary number like 1100 has
4 bits 110011 has 6 bits and 11001100 has 8 bits.
2.
The basic difference between analog and digital computers is the type of
data they process.
Digital computers process data which is binary, i.e. in the form of 0 and 1.
Analog computers operate on mathematical variables in the form of physical
quantities that are continuously varying.
3.
The octal numeral system, or oct for short, is the base-8 number system,
and uses the digits 0 to 7. Octal numerals can be made from binary
numerals by grouping consecutive binary digits into groups of three starting
from the right. For example, the binary representation for decimal 74 is
1001010.
4.
5.
A string is a group of characters (either letter or digits) written one after
another. For instance, 734 is the sting of 73 and 4. Similarly, 2C8A is sting
of 2, C, 8 and A.
Number systems are the technique to represent numbers in the computer
system architecture, every value that you are saving or getting into / from
computer memory has a defined number system. Computer architecture
supports following number systems.
i)
Binary Number System :
Binary is a two digit numerical system which computers use to store data
and compute functions. The reason for which computers use the binary
system is that digital switches inside the computer can only be set to either
on (or) off which are represented by a 1 or 0.
ii)
Decimal Number System :
The Decimal number system is the system which is composed of numbers
from 0 to 9. It has ten digits and hence the base of this system is also 1230,
7890, 45610, etc. are examples of Decimal number system.
iii)
Octal Number System :
The Octal number system has digits starting from 0 - 7. The base of this
system is 8. 1238, 5648, 2368, etc. are examples of Octal number system.
iv)
Hexa Decimal Number System :
The Hexa decimal number system are 0 to 9 digits and characters from A
- F. A represents 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, D represents 13, E
represents 14 and F represents 15. The base of this number system is 16.
Computer.com

Book - 8
6.
A byte is used for holding a character code. There are about 105 to 108
keys on the keyboard considering of alphabet, digits, symbols and
punctuation marks, etc. All these characters must be digitized, i.e.,
expressed in 0s and 1s. Each of these are expressed in a given specific
number code and binary system. Each number code is organised in the
group of 8 bits is called a byte.
7.
An easy method of converting decimal to binary number equivalents is to
write down the decimal number and to continually divide-by-2 (two) to
give a result and a ramainder of either a "1" or a "0", until the final result
equals zero. So, for example "Convert the decimal number 29410 into its
binary number equivalent".
Start picking the remainder from the last, that is 1, then seocnd last
remainder 0 and then 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1. Join them together as
101100101 which is the binary number.
