Using Venn Diagrams to Solve Problems WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet helps students develop their ability to analyse and interpret data in probability and statistics. It progresses from simple sorting tasks to more challenging problem-solving that requires logical thinking.
Students start by completing Venn diagrams using given numerical information. As they advance, they work with percentages and overlapping data sets. Real-world contexts, such as library book checkouts, after-school activities, and restaurant dining choices, are used throughout. More advanced questions encourage critical thinking about overlapping groups.
Ideal for foundation and higher-tier GCSE students, this resource strengthens both conceptual understanding and exam readiness in probability-based questions.
