Classify with Venn Diagrams Added on 11/10/2008	Downloads: TI-73 PDF file TI-SmartView Scripts TI-Navigator files
In this activity, students use Venn diagrams to sort data. Specifically, students use the diagrams to analyze the factors and multiples of different numbers. First, they learn to use the CONST feature to find multiples of numbers more quickly. In the screenshot, the constant is +6.
Students use the lcm( and gcd( features to investigate the number relationships in the Venn diagrams. Also, to find the factors of the three numbers given, students can use the integer division feature to show the actual remainder from the division.
In the optional TI-Navigator extension, students look at a different placement of circles to show relationships. They will first review their knowledge of Venn diagrams using a Learning Check document.
