Venn Diagrams
Key Stage: 2 ★★★
How many ways can you find to use 8 beanbags to place 4 in the red hoop, five in the blue hoop and six in the yellow hoop? Can you explain your method?
This activity is especially good to do with a small number of pupils. This will give them confidence to talk with each other and discuss their ideas. It is amazing how many different ways of approaching the problem they will find.
One teacher commented that "ALL children loved this! It was good for developing understanding of Venn diagrams and recording in a systematic way".
