One thing that took me a long time to grok that I wish this toy showed is how the fraction is included in the calculation underneath.

Right now the following bits

0 10001 1000000000

show the calculation as

1 x 2^2 x 1.5 = 6

when it's more clear to actually say

1 x 2^2 x (1 + (512 / 1024)) = 6
