Just as we sorted objects, then people, then names into "not boxes," we moved from sorting objects to sorting people and then names into Venn Diagrams. Today I made a giant Venn Diagram on the floor with masking tape and we sorted children into it, followed by sorting of name cards, and finally created a Venn Diagram together on chart paper. Then each child came up with their own question and surveyed their peers, asking their friends to sign their Venn Diagrams in the appropriate spot. We used the same procedures as when students created their own "Not Box" surveys. Afterwards students took turns sitting in the Mathematician's Chair and describing their data using the words "greatest," "least," "most," "more," and "less." For homework everyone surveyed their family members using a Venn Diagram.
