Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book, Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams

In the Max Maths workbook for Year 2 students, there are exercises designed to help children understand and practise using Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. These visual tools are used for sorting numbers based on given criteria. In Practice 3, the workbook guides students through a series of tasks where they must categorise numbers according to specific properties such as oddness, evenness, and being multiples of certain numbers.

The first task involves placing numbers from 5 to 35 into a Venn diagram with two categories: odd numbers and multiples of 5. The second task requires students to sort numbers from 10 to 40 into a Venn diagram with categories for even numbers and multiples of 10. The third task extends this concept to include numbers from 4 to 40, asking students to identify multiples of 3 and multiples of 4. In contrast, the Carroll diagrams in the workbook focus on different sets of criteria. One task involves sorting numbers from 1 to 25 based on their oddness and whether they are multiples of 5. Another Carroll diagram challenges students to categorise numbers from 1 to 25 based on whether they are between 1 and 12 and if they have an even ones digit. The final task on the Carroll diagram asks students to place numbers from 20 to 40 according to whether the digits add up to an odd number and if they are multiples of 2. These exercises enhance the students' ability to classify numbers and understand the relationships between different mathematical properties.
