Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Sorting according to two criteria using Venn diagram

In a Year 3 mathematics practice activity, students are introduced to the concept of sorting numbers using Venn diagrams based on two different criteria. The task at hand is to observe the given Venn diagrams and then assign the correct labels to each set. The diagrams contain a variety of numbers, and the children must determine the characteristics that define each section of the diagram. For example, they might be required to sort numbers into sets based on whether they are odd or even, multiples of a certain number, or within a specific numerical range.

The numbers presented for sorting in the Venn diagrams include single and double-digit figures such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23, and 25. The children must analyze these numbers and decide which ones belong to the overlapping part of the diagram, indicating that they meet both criteria, and which belong to the non-overlapping parts, indicating they meet only one of the criteria. This exercise helps to develop critical thinking and categorization skills. For further practice and to complete the activity, the students are directed to workbook pages 106 to 107.
