A Venn diagram sorting activity for Year 3 maths. Pupils read nine survey facts about children, such as 'Sam walks to school and has a pet cat', and write each child's letter into the right region of a two-circle diagram: has a pet, walks to school, or both. Answers for every region are on the last page. Supports the England National Curriculum statistics objectives on presenting and using data.
