Useful interactive games to teach the skills needed for sorting on a Carroll and Venn diagram:
http://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/75/shapes_sort_carroll
Sort a variety of 2d shapes on a Carroll diagram. Sort by one or two
conditions. Sort triangles - scalene, equilateral and isosceles. Sort
quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons and octagons, as well
as parallelograms, rhombus, kites and trapeziums. Also sort according to
a shapes properties such as acute, obtuse, reflex or right angles and
symmetry or whether it is a regular shape.

errors_on_a_venn_diagram__numbers
Identify the numbers which have been placed in the wrong position on
the Venn diagram and drag them to their correct place
Choose to arrange numbers by whether they are odd or even, or
multiples of a given number, or prime or square numbers.
http://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/84/carroll_sort_numbers
Sort numbers on a Carroll diagram. Sort according to one or two
properties, including: odd, even, multiples, square numbers, prime
numbers, triangular numbers, numbers less than 30 or more than 50.

numbers_on_a_carroll_diagram_missing_labels
Drag the correct labels onto the Carroll diagram. A great game to
encourage reasoning about the properties of numbers. Works really well
as a mental starter.
