Example
Cake shop
- The local shop has a list of cakes (see the list above).
- Help the shop organise the cakes into the diagram above so they create a shop window display.
- Put the letters of each cake into the circle you think they should go in.
- Two of the cakes have been sorted for you.
- Cake A is a circle,and chocolate, so it goes in “Circle Cake” and “Chocolate” circles.
- Cake E is a vanilla rectangle cake, less than R30 so it goes into the “Less than R30″circle.
