What are Venn diagrams and how are they useful?

A picture of a Venn diagram is in the related links. They are useful because they help you map out problems such as "If there are 3 students in math, 5 students in science and 6 students in total, how many are in both math and science?" To this, you can use the Venn diagram to reason that since there seem to be 8 students in total if math and science are separate, there must be 2 students in both classes.

What ancient roman students used?

The ancient Roman students used the same materials that our present day students use, although in a primitive form. Their books were scrolls, which they had to unroll in order to read and then roll up once they were finished. They wrote on wax tablets with a stylus for practice or for quick notes. These tablets could be rubbed out and reused. For "good writing" or formal letters they used papyrus and an ink pen. They had a lot more memorizing to do than our students today and for math problems they used an abacus or "counting board".
