Sorting Fruits

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a Venn diagram with three overlapping circles, each representing children who love different fruits: apples, oranges, and strawberries. Within each circle and the areas where the circles overlap, there are icons representing individual children who have a preference for these fruits. The students are given a series of questions asking them to determine the number of children who like each individual fruit, combinations of two fruits, or all three fruits, based on their placement within the Venn diagram.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to interpret Venn diagrams and analyze the data they represent. By answering the questions, students practice identifying the number of elements in each section of the diagram, which corresponds to a particular category or intersection of categories. This skill is important for understanding set theory and for organizing and interpreting categorical data. The activity also helps to improve problem-solving skills and provides a visual method for understanding relationships between different sets.
