[ROVERNET - UK] 3-2000TC's for sale- mystery numbers-sorted!

[Eric Russell]

Hmmmmm,...... that was part of the "new math" I had to
learn how to teach my Grade 7 students in the 1970s
(changed out of that after 5 years thank goodness).

Write "numbers" from 0 to 50.

Arrange the numbers in such a way that you can draw a
circle around them.

Draw another circle which contains only even numbers
and overlaps the first circle and the original
numbers.

You should have two overlaping circles.  There is an
intersecting portion which contains your even numbers.
 Outside that intersection but within the first circle
are all the other numbers.  Outside that intersection
but within the second circle is nothing.

That's a Venn diagram. As the mathematics get more
complicated you can get more circles and more
challenging tasks.  The head explodes with the
possibilities.

Apparently, the powers-that-be changed and they
determined that this mathematical activity for
children who had not reached the mental age of 11 was
too mind-blowing and common sense prevailed.
