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

The Max Maths Workbook for Year 2 provides engaging practice for young learners to grasp the concepts of Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. In Practice 3, students are encouraged to sort numbers based on given criteria. The first task involves placing the numbers 5 to 35 into a Venn diagram that categorises them as either odd numbers or multiples of 5. This exercise helps children to identify characteristics of numbers and understand that some numbers may fit into both categories, thus appearing in the intersection of the two circles in the Venn diagram.

Further exercises include sorting numbers 10 to 40 based on their parity and whether they are multiples of 10 in a Venn diagram. Another task requires placing numbers 4 to 40 in a Venn diagram, distinguishing between multiples of 3 and multiples of 4. The workbook also introduces Carroll diagrams, where students categorise numbers 1 to 25 as odd or not odd, and as multiples of 5 or not. Another Carroll diagram asks students to work with numbers 1 to 25, considering whether they are between 1 and 12 and if they have an even ones digit. The final activity involves sorting numbers 20 to 40 based on whether the digits add up to an odd number and whether they are multiples of 2. These activities are designed to develop logical thinking and number recognition skills in a clear and interactive manner.
