note card
Lined study rectangle
A note card is a small, stiff piece of paper used to record information, typically for studying or organizing thoughts.
Students write facts or terms on note cards to memorize material, often with a question or term on one side and the answer on the other.
Speakers use note cards to keep their remarks organized during presentations.
Note cards are also called index cards, especially when used for filing or cataloging rather than studying.
