Yesterday in math we discussed Venn Diagrams. I was surprised at how complicated some may be. You have to really pay close attention to what is being asked.


Some of the terminology and symbols we covered were...

Sets - groupings of things

Elements - the individual pieces of the sets

Intersection - this is just the overlapping areas of the sets.

Union - this is the all the elements of all the sets.

Disjoint - this is a set or element that has nothing in common with the others.

Compliment - this is everthing not included in the set.


The following is a useful website for getting a better understanding of Venn Diagrams. http://www.purplemath.com/modules/venndiag.htm
