Sorting People

Worksheet Description

This worksheet uses Venn diagrams as a tool to categorize people based on different attributes. There are two separate Venn diagrams: the first one has categories for “Blond hair” and “Wear glasses,” and the second one for “Short hair” and “Female.” Images of eight people with their names-John, George, Thomas, Frank, Ruth, Anna, Mary, and Rosie-are provided above the diagrams. Students must write the names of these individuals in the appropriate sections of the Venn diagrams based on the visual cues from their images.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to use Venn diagrams to sort and classify information based on distinct characteristics. It helps students develop the skill of categorizing and organizing data visually. By considering multiple attributes simultaneously, students enhance their ability to recognize and represent complex relationships. This exercise also fosters careful observation and analytical thinking, as students must distinguish and cross-reference the features of the given individuals to place them correctly in the diagram.
