Printable Loopcards | Topic 1: Problem solving | Edexcel IGCSE Computer Science

What are loop cards?

Loop cards are a great game that can be played individually or as a class. They are perfect for review key vocabulary or questions at the end of a topic or when revising for an exam.

Instructions

  1. Cut out the cards from the paper horizontally (but don't cut them in half!) and then shuffle them.
  2. Now start joining each question on the right hand side of the card to the matching answer on the next card.
  3. Carry on until all the cards loop together and you have competed the game!

Hint: Make sure that you set your paper to portrait to print 4 cards per sheet of A4 paper.

Edit Vocab

An object or concept that exists in the real world, and which we wish to represent in a computational model using abstraction.
data sets

Iteration
The process of repeating a set of steps or actions multiple times in order to refine or improve a solution
coding
The process of writing instructions in a high-level programming language that can be executed by a computer.
Classes
A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects in an object-oriented programming language.
Objective
Clearly defined goals that an algorithm is intended to achieve.
Polymorphism
Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms, depending on the context in which it is used.
Problem Decomposition
The process of breaking down a large and complex problem into smaller, more manageable sub-problems that are easier to solve.
Flowchart
