lovely task - I had planned on getting them to make games and this is the perfect framework - thanks!
This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on Probability, including work with fractions.
To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm
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 easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
5) Students can create their own as an extension task
I hope you and your students enjoy them.

The resource could only be opened via Winzip which I don't have on my computer, thus I paid for it, and could never use it. Winzip costs money to purchase thus in buying this resource, one not only has to pay for the resource but also the cost of Winzip.

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Starter to check understanding of parts of Venn diagram. Mystery activity in which students use clues to annotate Venn diagram and use it to calculate a probability - works best when cards are cut up in advance. The nrich challenge can be used as an extension activity.
