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.

It is an array where the elements are arranged in increasing order.
Height
It is the length of the longest path from a node to a leaf in a binary search tree.
Post-Order Traversal
It is a traversing method for binary search trees where the left and right subtrees are first recursively traversed, followed by the root.
Leaf
It is a node in a binary search tree that has no children.
Pre-Order Traversal
It is a traversing method for binary search trees where the root is visited first, followed by the left and right subtrees recursively.
