CARVALHO, Magda Costa; SANTOS, Ana Isabel  and  SEQUEIRA, Renata. Venn diagrams as a philosophical resource in kindergarten. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2017, vol.31, n.62, pp.727-750.  Epub Mar 09, 2021. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.issn.0102-6801.v31n62a2017-p727a750.

This research lies within the scientific and pedagogic scope of Philosophy for Children, more specifically its implementation in a community of philosophical inquiry, the pedagogic and epistemological model of the Philosophy for Children, with pre-school children. The purpose was to research the type of answer this community of inquiry would give to some logic problems by resorting to Venn Diagrams. Specifically, the observation of problem-solving through the intersection of sets was under scrutiny, and the conclusion was that this logic resource is not only viable in the context of pre-schooling, as well as relevant for the formation of thinking.

Keywords : Philosophy for children; Pre-school; Venn diagrams; Intersection.
