Venn it out
Start with two animals kids know, like a cat and a dog. Draw a giant Venn diagram on the floor with yarn and let kids place picture cards in the right spot. Then move to a paper Venn diagram with the same thinking.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
