Venn Diagrams Help

How Do I Run This Applet?

This java applet requires a java-capable browser. If you don't see the applet, Java may not be functional in your browser or on your machine.

Object of the activity

This applet provides a series of Venn diagram questions. The user is given an object and must determine the region to which it belongs.

Controls and Output

  • First, click in the specific region where the given number or object belongs. The area you have chosen will be displayed in color. Below, the user has chosen the region where "prime number" and "even number" overlap.

  • You may find an object or number that does not fit into any of the regions. You may select the region outside the Venn diagram and the box around the diagram will be shown in color to let you know that region is selected.
  • When you are confident that you have clicked on the right region, click Check Answer to see if you are correct. If you have chosen the correct region, the program will tell you so. If the correct region has not been chosen, the applet will respond with "Incorrect". To see a new question, click Next.
