– About Venn Diagram

Venn Diagrams can help students make sense out of a data set by comparing and contrasting information.

This simple tool helps your students quickly create their own diagrams, so they can compare sets of information. Students can use this tool to display information they've collected themselves, or map out relevant math word problems. Venn Diagrams can also be useful visuals to include in science projects.

Looking for more useful tools to create Venn Diagrams and more? Take a look at this training session, Using Google Apps to Create Interactive Student or Class Projects. In this fast-paced session, join Meredith Martin as she explains how to use Google Slides and Google Drawings to go beyond the basics with your class to create interactive reports, projects, lessons, and more. I just happened to watch this session myself yesterday, and it covers a few different types of graphs (including Venn Diagrams), as well as many other interactive features of Google. It received some rave reviews during the session, and I agree it is well worth a look!
