Welcome to Maths Venns!

What are Maths Venns?

Maths Venns is my collection of Venn Diagram activities covering many mathematical ideas. Students must think hard to find examples that meet different combinations of criteria in order to complete the diagram. Are some regions impossible to fill, or have students simply not found an example yet?

You can search for different topics using the Topics menus above, and you can find out more about Maths Venns on this page.

My books

I have written two books about my use of these types of activities.

My 2020 book, Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain: Sequences and behaviour to enable mathematical thinking in the classroom, goes into detail about making the most of these activities in the classroom. You can order the book from AmazonJohn Catt, or wherever you get your books.

My 2023 book, Tips for Teachers: 400+ ideas to improve your teaching, details my most recent thoughts on using these sequences effectively. You can order the book from AmazonJohn Catt, or wherever you get your books.

My online courses

I have an online course store which offers low-cost, high-quality CPD on-demand. Each course contains short videos, resources, research, activities and questions to reflect upon. The courses most suited to the activities on the Maths Venns website are:
