How to make a Three-Tab Venn Diagram Book Foldable* 1. Fold a piece of (8 ½ x 11”) paper in half vertically

(like a hotdog).

2. With the paper horizontal and the fold of the hotdog up, fold the right side toward the center, trying to cover one half of the paper. (Make a mark here, but do not crease the paper.) Or, to reinforce math skills, have the students determine what the measurements would be for dividing the page into 3 equal parts using a ruler.

3. Fold the left side over the right side to make a book with three folds.

4. Open the folded book. Place your hands between the two thicknesses of paper and cut

up the two valleys on one side only. This will form three tabs. 5. Draw overlapping circles on the three tabs to make a Venn Diagram.
