    {
      "question": "What does the overlapping middle part of a Venn diagram show?",
      "card": "The overlap",
      "choices": ["elements in both sets", "elements in no set", "only set A"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Correct. The overlap shows elements that belong to both sets.",
      "help": "Think about what both circles share."

      "question": "A is children who play football. B is children who sing in choir. Where does Musa go if he does both?",
      "card": "A = football     B = choir",
      "choices": ["A only", "B only", "the overlapping middle"],
      "answer": 2,
      "good": "Yes. Musa belongs in the overlap because he is in both sets.",

      "question": "Which symbol means intersection?",
      "card": "A ___ B",
      "choices": ["∩", "∪", "="],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Correct. A ∩ B means the elements in both A and B.",
      "help": "Intersection means the shared middle part."

      "question": "Which symbol means union?",
      "card": "A ___ B",
      "choices": ["∩", "∪", "∅"],
      "answer": 1,
      "good": "Correct. A ∪ B means everything in A, B or both.",

      "choices": ["{2, 8}", "{4, 6}", "{2, 4, 6, 8}"],
      "answer": 1,

      "card": "Outside both circles",
      "choices": ["the overlap", "outside the circles", "A only"],
      "answer": 1,
      "good": "Yes. Outside both circles means the child belongs to neither set.",
      "help": "Neither means not in either circle."

Take your time. A mistake is a clue about what to try next.
