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

The scenario in which an algorithm takes the shortest time to complete.
Recursive
A function or algorithm that calls itself with a smaller version of the problem until a base case is reached.
Sequential Search
Algorithm that searches a list or array one item at a time in a linear fashion.
Array
A collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations.
Time Complexity
The amount of time it takes to complete a task as the input size increases.
Boolean
A data type that can have one of two possible values, usually true or false.
Merge Function
The central component of the merge sort algorithm is the function that combines two sorted subarrays. Its primary goal is to merge these arrays.
Optimization
The process of improving the performance of an algorithm by reducing its time or space complexity.
O(N)
The notation used to indicate linear complexity, where n is the size of the input.
Out-Of-Place Sort
A sorting algorithm that necessitates extra memory in order to arrange the array.
