Venn diagrams offer a way to look at relationships between logical sets or mathematical sets. The circles are the sets, the elements are listed in their respective circles, and if there is an overlap, that region signifies the intersection of the sets. Venns can also be nested, when sets are subsets of each other.
A variety of Venns have been provided. There are basic, two circle that are configured to be folded and used in The Mathematicians’ Notebook or Journey’s Notebook. There are also three circle Venns and sorting ovals for nested Venns. A Venn mat on legal paper for work with manipulatives is also provided.

By the intermediate grades, students have had many experiences with both 2D and 3D geometric objects. Their studies become more sophisticated as they are describing and classifying shapes based upon their attributes. They are also working with perimeter, area, and volume. Student reasoning, discussion, writing, and argumentation should be expected to show this more sophisticated level of understanding. However, some students may still need some review on the basic geometric figures and their attributes.
Geometry in the intermediate grades should be just as experiential as it was in the primary years. Students are better able to articulate their findings and justifications for their spatial reasoning investigations. These five activities offer literacy connections, opportunities for writing, extensions and adaptations for diverse learners, money connections, and suggestions for the Art teacher in supporting mathematics. The sorting mat is also given separately to print 11X17 inches.

The study of geometry and the world around us begins before primary mathematicians start school. Beginning mathematics should be able to identify shapes and solids, with a focus on their properties and relationship for developing abstract thinking and making conjectures.
Primary students describe, represent, and investigate relationships within a geometric system. Children verbally describe two and three-dimensional objects and give examples as well as draw representations of both. These four activities are suitable for both large group and small group as well as centers or learning stations. They can be extended and differentiated to meet the needs of diverse students. Literacy and writing connections are also given. The sorting mat is also given separately to print 11X17 inches for primary mathematicians to use.

Writing is one of the parts of language that younger mathematicians are still developing along with their reading, talking, and listening skills. Children learn to write by writing. Writing needs to be original thought, not just copying something that someone else wrote. Therefore, it is imperative that opportunities are provided often for students to engage in writing about mathematics.
As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Writing About offers a collaborative opportunity for small groups of students to work individually first to write about a concept and then to come together and putting their individual work into a paragraph about the topic. A word cloud is given as a prompt for words and ideas. Facilitation notes are provided as well as student activity sheet. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing.
