Definition
A Venn diagram is a graphic organizer that is made up of two or three overlapping circles. In mathematics, Venn diagrams are used to visualize the relationship between two or three sets. Venn diagrams can also be used to compare and contrast the characteristics of any other items, like groups of people, individual people, books, characters, animals, etc.

A simple Venn diagram pictures two circles (sets) with an overlapping subset (things that the sets have in common). The diagram divides the sets into four distinct regions, elements (things) that are only in the set A, elements that are only in the set B, the intersection (things that are in both set A and set B), and elements that are in neither set A nor Set B.
