Venn Diagram Scribe Post

Today in class we learned about venn diagrams. We all got into groups and tried to make an accurate interpretation of a venn diagram for quadrilaterals. In the end Jojo showed us what were the faults in our diagrams. A proper example of the quadrilateral venn diagram should look something like this.

We learned about how venn diagrams are strait forward, but will require some critical thinking. For example, in our diagram we had to struggle with the fact that all squares are rectangles, that all squares are rhombuses, but rectangles and rhombuses aren't always squares.

Many groups had incorrect diagrams because they didn't know the proper definitions of different quadrilaterals. Don't just know what the shape looks like, know the definition of it.
