I have a big table that does not fit in the slides with Beamer, i write this :

 \documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
 \usetheme{CambridgeUS} % theme
 \usepackage{tikz}
 \begin{document}
 \begin{frame}
 \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
 \hline 
 % line 1
 & 

\begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

  \node(a1){a}
  child{node(b1){b}}
  child{node{b} child{node{b}} child{node{a}}};
 \end{tikzpicture} 

  & 

\begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{a}
  child{node(a2){a} child{node{b}}}
  child{node{b} child{node{b}} child{node{a}}};

 \end{tikzpicture} 

\\ \hline


%line 2 
$a$ & 1 & 1  \\ \hline

%line 3 
$b$ & 2 & 2  \\ \hline

%line 4 

\begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{a}
 child{node{a}};

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 0 & 0  \\ \hline

 %line 4 

 \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{a}
 child{node{b}};

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 0 & 1  \\ \hline

 %line 5 

\begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{b}
 child{node{a}};

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 0 & 0  \\ \hline

 %line 6 

 \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{b}
 child{node{a}};

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 0 & 0  \\ \hline

  \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{b}
 child{node{a}}child{node{a}} ;

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 0 & 0  \\ \hline

 \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{b}
 child{node{b}}child{node{a}} ;

 \end{tikzpicture} 

& 1 & 1  \\ \hline



  $\vdots$ & $\vdots$ & $\vdots$  \\ \hline


   \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

  \node(a1){a}
  child{node(b1){b}}
  child{node{b} child{node{b}} child{node{a}}};
 \end{tikzpicture}  & 1 & 0  \\ \hline

   \begin{tikzpicture} [every fit/.style={ellipse,draw,red,inner sep=-2pt},scale=0.5]  

 \node{a}
  child{node(a2){a} child{node{b}}}
  child{node{b} child{node{b}} child{node{a}}};

 \end{tikzpicture}   & 0 & 1  \\ \hline
 $\vdots$ & $\vdots$ & $\vdots$  \\ \hline
 \end{tabular}

 \end{frame}
 \end{document}

The result is given by the picture below enter image description here

Any idea will be appreciated to solve this size issue.

Since this is beamer, it's intended for a presentation. There the table might be hard to digest on the fly even if you solve the size problem. Perhaps imagine a slide format that might be easier to read - maybe showing just a part of the table will be enough to make your lecture point. – Ethan Bolker Jul 8 '12 at 14:52

To get the content onto the slide, I rotated it 90 degrees and reduced the space around each cell and used a smaller font.

Here is an alternate version where the orientation is the same as yours but the spacing has been tightened up. With a check of the Tikz manual some of the duplicate parameters can be set globally to tighten up the code.

To complete your second solution, you may add \tikzset{grow'=right} to minimize the size of trees... – Paul Gaborit Jul 9 '12 at 15:21
I modified the solution to show the effect of grow right beside the second solution. Useful command. – R. Schumacher Jul 9 '12 at 19:43
