Difference of 2 sets

This content encourages students to analyze and categorize the connections between two or more complex concepts by using Venn and Carroll diagrams.

The Venn and Carroll diagrams may be over a hundred years old, but it's still highly used in today's modern lessons from science, math, and computing to arts and design. Its utility has gone beyond teaching logical thinking.

  • Venn diagram is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets.
