Venn diagrams

[Laura OHalloran]

Today I was asked about the quickest/easiest/best way to create a Venn diagram using APrimary. The teacher in question had used a white circle with a black outline, then brought on another and made it translucent (I think) and overlapped it with the other one. She said it was OK to use but rather fiddly to make.

I looked in the resources for one which was already made but didn't find any.:(

Does anyone know if there is a blank Venn diagram located somewhere in the resources or, failing that, of a quicker way of creating one?

Hi

There is no other way that I can think of, but if you snapshot the finished article, provided you make it big enough so that it doesn't "tile" you can save it into the backgrounds folder.

If you just want to group them together, you could save it into the maths folder, so having made it once you won't need to make it again....

Would this be any good? If so, I'll make it into a flipchart and put it into the resources. Could do 2 circles as well if you like.

If you spend some time making a Venn diagram using two circles each with a different colour and making them slightly translucent, I suggest you group them together and put the whole diagram into your resource library ready for next time. I also do this with tables that I have taken a snap-shot of from MS Word or MS Publisher. :-/

Here's a simple one that I use with AS

After thinking about tracing round a circle of card on the board using the pen and then saving it into your collections folder (It could work) I just had a mini brain wave and created a circle line drawing in Activ Studio... I made one thick lined and one thin... so you've got a choice and made three more of each and filled them with a transparent colour and hey presto, I dropped them into Active Primary and they work great... I've attached them below...

I need to make a second posting as I need to attach 3 other circles and the limit is five attachments per posting...

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL THEM INTO ACTIVE PRIMARY

The one's with transparent coloured fills eg. Venn thick green etc. need to be dropped into your collections folder ie. My Documents/Activeprimary 2/My Collections and maybe create a folder called Venn Circles or somthing like that to put them in... the other two files 'Venn thick and Venn thin' you need to drop into your 'My Lines' folder which you will find in My Documents/Activprimary 2/My Lines... after you've dropped them all in the right folders, start up Active Primary and you should find the plain circles in your 'lines' button off the main toolbar, just remember to click on the 'catagories' button and then on the 'personal' button to see them.. the coloured circles will be in the collections button, again in your 'personal' folders .. any problems, just let me know

Kind regards

Here's the other three thin coloured circles...

Kind regards

Thanks, David. Here are some more colours and some without a black border.

Some more - suggest once saved, you select the two or three for use and resize them all at once.

And finally, one more!

I have now increased the max number of attachments to 10

Hope this helps!

What would we do without you, Cliff!! :D
