Sets & Venn Diagrams
Enumerate sets and their unions and intersections systematically using tables, grids, and Venn diagrams to organise and count outcomes
Suggested ages 12–14
Evidence of understanding
- List the elements in the union and intersection of two sets using a Venn diagram
- Use a two-way table to enumerate all possible outcomes of two combined events
- Shade regions of a Venn diagram to represent A ∪ B, A ∩ B, and A′ (complement)
Assessment prompt
Can Sets & Venn Diagrams use a table or Venn diagram to systematically list all the possible outcomes of two events — like rolling two dice — and use it to count favourable outcomes?
