Remember the Tom Lehrer song "New Math" from THAT WS THE WEEK THAT

getting the basics of set theory across to them. When I read of a
guessing game that uses blocks of different colors shapes and sizes,
and three loops of strings that can be used to teach kindergarteners
how to work with Venn diagrams, ... <<
I have a set of those colored foam shapes and I was going to use it
for a "remedial SQL" class, but never got the chance :) Hey, it works
for people who have trouble with abstractions.
