Letter Angles

I gave my students a three circle Venn Diagram.  None of my students had ever seen a three circle Venn Diagram before I so spent a few minutes explaining how the circles intersected.  Then I told the students that they were going to look at the alphabet and place the letters in the Venn Diagram where they fit correctly.  If the letter didn't have any angles they wrote that letter outside the Venn Diagram.  It was really interesting to see them try to figure out the Venn Diagram at the same time as they figured out the letter angles.  This was the first time I had done this activity and it was really successful.  This is something I will definitely being doing year after year.
