The Venn Diagrams was invented by Jon Venn as a way of visualizing the relationship between different groups (Purplemath, 2014). Venn Diagrams are an important learning tactic that helps students to learn how to graphically establish and compare concepts. They are often used in English lessons, and its effect is often undermined in the mathematics classroom. They are extremely valuable for problem-solving and finding probability of events. Hence, once students are able to properly locate correct information, they will become more able to answer mathematical questions. Therefore, making it useful to students as they are given a way to link ideas and numerical data into rational visual picture (Cain, n.d.).
Empirically, once students develop the ability to properly organize information in a Venn diagram; they are better able to recall information as well as locate important data. Venn Diagrams can also be useful in the math classroom by helping students to organize mathematical information in word problems; as well as help them to understand how to find probabilities. The most popular use of the Venn Diagrams in mathematics often presented by drawing two or three circles that overlap. Students are then able to fill out appropriate information from a word problem and calculate the numbers that go in each open spot (Cain, n.d.).
In the world of mathematic the term "a group of things" is "a set"; Venn diagrams can be used in this instance to demonstrate both set and logical relationships. Hence, when drawing a Venn diagram, we first draw a rectangle called a "universe". The rectangle or “universe” represents the present or everything that is been dealt with presently. For instance we had a list of things: turkeys, swans, geese, ducks, penguins, seal, walruses, dolphins, rabbits, lizards and manatees. First let’s call our universe "Animals",
