Venn Diagram Rich Tasks
I began to see the huge potential for the use of Venn Diagrams as
a rich task from my constant source of inspiration – the amazing Median
Maths Blog, by Don Steward. He created a lovely Straight
Line Graphs Venn Diagrams task that you can access here.
Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:
1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a
number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in
one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task
gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all
maths topics for all ages and abilities
4) They are very quick to create and require no special resources
5) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle
labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
6) Students can create their own as an extension task
Give them a go, and if you or your pupils cannot resist the urge
to create your own Venn Diagram tasks, please let me know
And a huge thank you to Erica Richards for helping create these
activities. We both really hope you enjoy them.
