In a mathematical Venn Diagram, each complete circle represents one thing, or the probability of doing such a thing (say for example, taking science classes or math classes). The area where both circles intersect is the probability of doing both (i.e. taking both math and science). What remains of the circles should be the probability of doing one activity, but not the other.
For a comparison/contrast diagram, the principal is much the same, only not using numbers: The center is reserved for qualities and attributes the two items (represented by the circles) have in common. The outer parts of the circles should be reserved for the differences between the things you are comparing; for example, in one comparing addition and subtraction, one statement in addition would be "answer is called sum" and in subtraction could be"answer is called difference".
So to simplify:
outer portions = differences
intersection = similarities

You place information in two overlapping circles.
The outer circles show the difference between the two sides. The center where they join are the area they are the same. This is a great graphic way to show comparison of two things or ideas.
A Venn Diagram consists of two overlapping circles. Each circle includes information about an item or topic. The overlapping portion includes information that the two have in common.
A venn diagram with 2 circles is comparing and contrasting two things while a venn diagram with three circles is comparing and contrasting two things to the same one subject instead of with each other.
