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

A measure of time complexity in which the execution time increases linearly with the size of the input.
Boolean
A data type that can have one of two possible values, usually true or false.
Logarithmic Time Complexity
An algorithmic time growth where processing steps increase slowly as input size doubles, following a logarithmic scale.
O(N)
A way to describe how an algorithm's running time increases proportionally with the input size during problem solving.
Worst Case
The scenario where an algorithm requires the maximum time to complete when solving a problem.
Optimization
The process of improving the performance of an algorithm by reducing its time or space complexity.
Out-Of-Place Sort
A sorting method that requires additional memory to rearrange elements, unlike algorithms that sort within the original data space.
Comparison-Based Sort
An algorithm that orders elements by repeatedly comparing pairs to determine their relative positions within a list.
Comparisons
The total count of element comparisons performed to determine order during a sorting algorithm's execution.
List
A sequence of elements arranged in a specific order, used to organize data for algorithmic processing.
