What is a Venn Diagram?

Can be used to solve “AND”, and “OR” problems

Each circle represents a category

Overlap represents what these topics have in common

Representing “AND”, “OR”

“AND”: represented by middle overlap

Survey Results: 60% have seen Harry Potter 40% have seen The Ring 30% have seen Die Another Day 30% Harry Potter and The Ring 20% Harry Potter and Die Another Day 15% The Ring and Die Another Day 10% have seen all three movies

The Question
