Explaining the language and symbols of Venn Diagrams

If you want to be able to answer the questions about Venn Diagrams on your IGCSE GCSE maths exam, then you will need to be familiar with the notation and symbols.  These symbols will be new to you so it is essential that you take time to learn them (perhaps make a not of them and stick them to the wall next to your bed for a few weeks and you will never forget!).  The next two maths videos will show you what all the symbols are and mean which will enable you to answer these maths questions on your maths exam.
