MA35-04 Maths Coming soon
Reading Venn diagrams and n(...) notation
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Read probabilities from a completed two-set Venn diagram, correctly including the intersection and the outside-both-sets region, and interpret n(...) notation as a count of elements rather than a list of them.
What it covers
- Reading probabilities from an ALREADY-COMPLETED two-set Venn diagram, including the intersection region and the 'outside both sets' (neither) region
- Interpreting n(...) notation as a count of elements in a region, not a list of the elements themselves

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches reading Venn diagrams and n(...) notation. By the end, students should be able to read probabilities from a completed two-set Venn diagram, correctly including the intersection and the outside-both-sets region, and interpret n(...) notation as a count of elements rather than a list of them. It works through three worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
