Teacher guide sheet for binary

search activity
Use this sheet to circle the number you are asking your class to look for when you are
demonstrating how the binary search works. This allows you to demonstrate the maximum
number of searches it would take. When students are playing the number hunt game, they can
choose any number. Avoid those numbers that are underlined as they are key binary search
positions (avoiding them is a good thing to do for demonstrations, but in practice students, or
computers, won’t intentionally avoid these).
