I am trying to teach a young lad how to set up binary addressable fire alarm

it for him, he just can't seem to grasp the concept. Now I know it is the
way I'm trying teach him and not the way he learns (?) so I'm looking for
any suggestions on ways to get this principle over to him.

If there are N switches, make 2^N pictures of the actual switch block.
Draw in the switches that are ON or OFF in each picture. Write a number
beside each picture.
