Venn Diagrams
Objectives and rules: For these questions you need to look at the diagrams carefully.
Venn Diagrams are for sorting data out. Data can go in whichever circle it belongs in.
The overlap in the centre is for data which could go equally well in both circles.
Data which cannot go in either circle is placed outside the circles.
Remember to count the data in the overlapping area when finding totals
Notes:
E.g. 1 Read the information below and write the four names onto the Venn diagram.
Ice cream flavours
Simon only likes strawberry ice cream
Katie only likes vanilla ice cream
Jason likes vanilla and strawberry ice cream
Marcus only likes chocolate ice cream
