John Venn (1834-1923) |
Some might think this is a picture of our teacher, but no, John Venn has a much better head of hair! John Venn was the mathematician who invented the Venn diagram which clearly shows the similarities and differences between two sets in a visual way. Perfect for those in Ganges who are visual learners.
We have recently been using Venn diagrams to show the links between different times tables. They have helped to develop our understanding as we have written some times tables numbers in one circle, some in the other circle and then those numbers which appear in both times tables were written in the middle of the circles known as the intersection.
Strange to think that a Victorian mathematician is helping us with our learning in 2015.
