Match the loop vocabulary

Match each term to the definition that fits it. The code is there so you can see what each term refers to; one definition fits no term.

total = 0
for score in [4, 7, 2]:
    total = total + score
print(total)

Definitions

The name that takes each item in turn, such as score here
A loop that visits each item of a sequence in turn
The indented lines that are repeated on every pass
A variable that builds up a result as the loop runs, such as total here
One pass through the body of a loop
A value handed to a function when it is called

Choose the definition for each term

iteration

loop variable

accumulator

loop body

for loop

Each definition fits at most one term, and at least one definition fits none.

Why this activity was chosen

Bloom level: L1 Knowledge: Pair each technical term with the definition that fits it.
Block Model level: Atoms (step 1 of 4): individual syntax elements: names, operators, keywords and values.
Misconception targeted: shown after you answer, so it does not give the answer away.

Recall of vocabulary is the base of the taxonomy, and matching tests several related terms at once, including the pairs novices mix up. The terms are anchored to a short code fragment so each definition can be checked against something concrete, and one extra definition fits no term so the last pair cannot be answered by elimination.

AI’s role here: AI may point at the part of the code a term refers to. It must not reveal the pairing, because retrieving the link is the skill.
