Lesson Plan Math 7

This lesson plan introduces grade 7 students to sets and set operations. The objectives are for students to describe and illustrate sets, universal sets, unions and intersections of sets. Students will perform set operations and use Venn diagrams to represent unions and intersections. Key concepts covered include defining sets, subsets, the empty and universal sets. Set operations like union, intersection, and complement are defined. Students practice finding set elements, cardinalities, and representing sets using Venn diagrams. Assessment involves solving word problems involving sets and set operations. Homework has students defining complement of a set and practicing related operations and Venn diagrams.

A. Activity / Motivation

Below are some objects. Group them as you see fit and label each group.

Answer the following questions:


a. How many groups are there?
b. Does each object belong to a group?
c. Is there an object that belongs to
more than one group? Which one?
Discussion:

The following are terms that you must remember from this point on.

1. Set is a well- defined group of objects, called elements that share a common characteristic.
Well Defined Sets Not a Well Defined Sets
• Planets in our Solar System • Interesting Books
• Colours of Rainbow • Favourite food of Children
• Capital Cities • Good schools in Digos City
• All Vowels • Favourite flavours of Ice Cream

For example, 3 of the objects above belong to the set of head covering or simply hats (ladies hat,
baseball cap, hard hat).

2. Set F is a subset of set A if all elements of F are also elements of A.


For example, the even numbers 2, 4 and 12 all belong to the set of whole numbers.
Therefore, the even numbers 2, 4, and 12 form a subset of the set of whole numbers. F is a
proper subset of A if F does not contain all elements of A.

3. The universal set U is the set that contains all objects under consideration.
4. The null set is an empty set. The null set is a subset of any set.
5. The cardinality of set A is the number of elements contained in A.

Notations and Symbols of Sets

1. Uppercase letters will be used to name sets, and lowercase letters will be used to refer to
any element of a set. For example, let H be the set of all objects on page 1 that cover or
protect the head. We write H = {ladies hat, baseball cap, hard hat}
Name Sets Element of a Set

H = {ladies hat, baseball cap, hard hat}


This is the listing or roster method of naming the elements of a set.

Another way of writing the elements of a set is with the use of a descriptor. This is
the rule method. For example, H = {x| x covers and protects the head}. This is read
as “the set H contains the element x such that x covers and protects the head.”

2. The symbol  or { } will be used to refer to an empty set.


3. The cardinality of a set A is written as n(A).

Set Operations
1. Let A and B be sets. The union of the sets A and B, denoted by AUB, is the set that
contains those elements that belong to A, B, or to both.

An element x belongs to the union of the sets A and B


if and only if x belongs to A or x belongs to B or to both.
This tells us that AU B = {x | x is in A or x is in B}
Venn diagram:
2. Let A and B be sets. The intersection of sets A and B, denoted by A  B, is the set
containing those elements in both A and B.

An element x belongs to the intersection of sets A and B


if and only if x belongs to A and x belongs to B.
This tells us that A  B = {x | x is in A and x is in B}

Venn diagram:

Sets whose intersection is an empty set are called disjoint sets.

B. Analysis
Let us answer the questions posed in the opening activity.
1. How many sets are there?
Answer: There is the set of head covers (hats), the set of trees, the set of even
numbers, and the set of polyhedra. But, there is also a set of round objects and a
set of pointy objects. There are 6 well-defined sets.
2. Does each object belong to a set? Answer: Yes.
3. Is there an object that belongs to more than one set? Which ones are these?
Answer: All the hats belong to the set of round objects. The pine trees and two of
the polyhedra belong to the set of pointy objects.

C. Abstraction

Set is a well- defined group of objects, called elements that share a common
characteristic. Set Operations includes Union of Sets and intersection of sets. Union of
two or more given sets contains all the elements of all the sets. Intersection of two or
more given sets contains all the elements that are common only to all the sets.

D. Application
Direction: Do the following exercises. Write your answers on the spaces
provided: Let the universe be the set U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} C = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}. List the elements of each set. Draw a Venn
Diagram and shade the given set.

Answers:
Given the sets above, determine the elements and cardinality of:

1. AU B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}; n (AUB) = 7


U
A B
C
2. AUC = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}; n (AUC) = 8 U
A B
C

3. AUBUC = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; n (AUBUC) = 10 U


A B
C

4. A  B = {0, 2, 4}; n (A  B) = 3 U
A B

5. B  C = Ø; n (B  C) = 0 U
B

IV. EVALUATION

Direction: Solve the following. Write your answer only.

Given U={x|x is a number from 0 to 10}. Let A= {0,1,2,3,4}, B={3,5,7,8} and


C={0,2,6,8}. List the elements of each set.

1. B∩C
2. AUB
3. AUBUC
4. A∩C
5. BUC

V. ASSIGNMENT
Answer the following in your notebook:
1. What is complement of set?
2. Illustrate how to perform its operations.
3. Use Venn diagrams to represent the complement of set.
