A. MINI LESSON:

Hi! This day you will be illustrating well-defined sets,

subsets, universal sets, null set, cardinality of sets, union
and intersection of sets and the different of two sets.
Are you ready?

Set is a well-defined collection of definite objects of perception or

thought. It can be thought of grouping together of single objects in a
whole. The objects should be distinct from each other and they
should distinguish from all those objects that do not form the set
under consideration.
A set is said to be well-defined set if we know exactly if an object is
an element
of the set.

Examples:
Set B = {whole number less than 5}
Since we can give directly the elements of the set which
are 4,3,2,1 and 0,
Set B is a well- defined set.

Set C – {handsome guy in the school}

A guy may be handsome to someone but for others heis
not. Set C
well-defined set.
Generally, a set is denoted by a capital symbol and the master or
elements of a set are separated by an enclosed in { }.
1
A set is a group or collection of objects. If an objects belongs to the
set, it is called a member of element.
Below is an illustration of set.

2
 Let A be a set. Is every element of A is in set A?
Yes of course, right?
So that means that A is a subset of A. It is a subset of
itself!
But it is not a proper subset
A is a proper subset of B if and only if every element of
A is also in B, and there exist at least one element in B
that is not in A.

Example 2. Is A subset of B, where A = {1,3,4} and B = {1,4,3,2}?

1 is in A, and 1 is in B as well. So far so good.
3 is in A and 3 is also in B.
4 is in A, and 4 is in B.
It is all elements of A, and every single element is in B.
Therefore, A is a subset of B
Note that the element 2 is in B, but 2 is not present in set A.

Here’s the examples below:

1. {1,2,3} is a subset of {1,2,3}, but is not a proper
subset of {1,2,3}
2. {1,2,5) is a subset of {1,2,3,5) is a proper subset.

DAY 2 ACTIVITIES
MINI LESSON:

Good day! Let’s continue our journey in illustrating the kinds of set.
Yesterday, you learned the meaning of sets and subsets. Today, you will discover
the universal sets, null set and cardinality of sets with their examples.

A Universal set is a set that consists of all the elements being considered in a
particular problem.
Any set which is a superset of all the sets under consideration is said to
Be a universal set. And is either denoted by omega or S or U.
Example.
Let A = {1,2,3}
C = {0,1} then can take or
S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} as a universal set.
You can also go interactive, just open the link below.
https://www.includehelp.com/basics/set-theory-and-types-of-set-indiscrete-
mathematics.aspx (Note: This is only for those students have internet connection)
Null set/empty set
A null set or an empty set is a valid set with no member. The null set, also
5
 referred to as the empty set, is the set that contains no elements. ...
Therefore, your set contains no elements and is the null set.
Example:
There are two representation either empty braces { } or a special symbol pie (π)
This A is a set which is null set inside it.
Notation: The symbolϕ is used to represent the empty set, { }. . .
To illustrate, if C = {x/x is a consonant}, then r∈ C, 0 ∉C, and n ∈C.
For instance, if D = {x/x>3 and x<1} then,
D = ϕ∨D={}

Cardinality of sets
The cardinality of a set is a measure of a set's size, meaning the number
of elements in the set.
For instance,  
Set A = {1, 2, 4 } A = \{1, 2, 4} A = {1,2,4} has a cardinality of 3 for the three

elements that are in it.

Example 2.
Set E has 5 elements namely, a, e, I, o, u. The cardinality of set E is 5. In symbols,
n(E) = 5
Set G is an infinite set. Its cardinality is infinite. Hence,
n (G) = ∝

B. GUIDED / PRACTICE ACTIVITY:

Directions: Write the word true if the statement is true and the word False if the
statement is False. Write your answer on the space provided for.

_____1. A null set or an empty set is a valid set with no member.

_____2. An Empty set is the same as a null set

_____3. The cardinality of a set is not a measure of a set's size, meaning the number

of elements in the set.

_____ 4. Any set which is a superset of all the sets under consideration is said to be

DAY 3 ACTIVITIES

A. MINI LESSON:

Yesterday, you had a long day learning about Universal set, null set and
cardinality set. Now, you will study new things about the Illustration of the Union
DAY 3 ACTIVITIES
and Intersection of sets.

Union of Sets
The union of two sets A and B is the set whose elements are those
which belong to set A, or to set B, or to both sets. In symbols, the union of set A
and set B is
A U B
Which is read as “A union B”
Illustrative examples to show the union of two sets.

Figure 1 Figure 2.

Example 3.
Let A = {2,4,6,8}, B = {1,3,57}, and C={3,6,7}. Find the following:
a. A U B
b. A U A
Solutions: To form the union of two sets, put all elements of the two sets together
in one set.
a. A U B = {2,4,6,8} U {1,3,5,7}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
b. A U A = {2,4,6,8} U {2,4,6,8}
= {2,4,6,8}
=A
c. The union of a set to itself is the set itself, that is A U A = A.

INTERSECTION OF SETS
The intersection of sets A and B is the set whose elements are common to set
A and set B. In symbols, the intersection of set A and B is
A ∩ B.
This is read as “A intersection B”. In the Venn diagram below, the shaded area
corresponds to A ∩ B.

Example 2. Let A = {2,4,6,8} , B = { 1,3,5,7}, and C = {3,6,9}. Find the following:

a. A ∩ B
b. A ∩ A

Solution:
a. A ∩ B = {2,4,6,8} ∩ {1,3,5,7}
={}
b. A ∩ A = {2,4,6,8} ∩ { 2,4,6,8}
= {2, 4, 6, 8}
=A
Note: The intersection of set A to itself is the set itself, that is, A ∩ A

9
Differences of two Sets
The difference of sets A and B is the set whose elements belong to set A but which
do not belong to set B. In symbols, the difference of A and B is
A–B
Which is read as “A minus B.” In the Venn diagram below, the shaded area
corresponds to A – B.

Example: Let A = {2,4,6,8} , B = { 1,3,5,7}, and C = {3,6,9}. Find the following:

a. A – B
b. (A U B) – C
Solution:
a. A – B = {2, 4, 6, 8} – {1, 3,5,7}
= {2, 4, 6, 8}
b. B – C = {1, 3, 5,7} – {3,6,9}
= {1, 5, 7}

 DAY 4 ACTIVITIES

A. MINI LESSON

Hello! Is everything alright? Finally, you are now

on day 4. Let’s take a look our lesson since day
1, day 2 and day 3 to check if you are doing your
best!
I know that you are excited to finish our lesson
for this week.

In day 1 we touched and illustrate the set and subset

Set is a well-defined collection of definite objects of perception or thought. It can
be thought of grouping together of single objects in a whole. The objects should
be distinct from each other and they should distinguish from all those objects that
do not form the set under consideration.
A set is said to be well-defined set if we know exactly if an object is an element
of the set.

Examples:

Set B = {whole number less than 5}

Since we can give directly the elemnts of the set which are 4,3,2,1
and 0,
Set B is a well- defined set.

Set C – {handsome guy in the school}

A guy may be handsome to someone but for others heis not. Set C
well-defined set.
Generally, a set is denoted by a capital symbol and the master or elements of a
set are separated by an enclosed in { }.
A set is a group or collection of objects. If an objects belongs to the set, it is
called a member of element.
Below is an illustration of set.

14
Example 2. Is a subset of B, where A = {1,3,4} and B = {1,4,3,2}

15
1 is in A, and 1 is in B as well. So far so good.
3 is in A and 3 is also in B.
4 is in A, and 4 is in B.
It is all elements of A, and every single element is in B.
Therefore, A is a subset of B
Note that the element 2 is in B, but 2 is not present in set A.

Let A be a set. Is every element of A is in set A?

Yes of course, right?
So that means that A is a subset of A. It is a subset
of itself!
But it is not a proper subset
A is a proper subset of B if and only if every
element of A is also in B, and there exist at least one
element in B that is not in A.

Day 2: The Topic discussed was all about Universal set, Null/empty set and
cardinality of set

The Universal set is a set that consists of all the elements being considered in a
particular problem.
Any set which is a superset of all the sets under consideration is said to
Be the universal set. And is either denoted by omega or S or U.
Example.
Let A = {1,2,3}
C = {0,1} then can take
S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} as a universal set.
You can also go interactive, just open the link below.

Null set/empty set
A null set or an empty set is a valid set with no member. The null set also
referred to as the empty set, is the set that contains no elements. ...
Therefore, your set contains no elements and is the null set.

16
 Example:
There are two representation either empty braces { } or a special symbol pie (π)

This A = { }is a set a null set inside it.

Notation: The symbolϕ is used to represent the empty set, { }. . .
To illustrate, if C = {x/x is a consonant}, then r∈ C, 0 ∉C, and n ∈C.
∝ x<1} then,
n (G) =and
or For instance, if D = {x/x>3
D = ϕ∨D={}

Cardinality of sets
The cardinality of a set is a measure of a set's size, meaning the number
of elements in the set.
For instance,  
Set A = {1, 2, 4 } A = \{1, 2, 4} A = {1,2,4} has a cardinality of 3 for the three
elements that are in it.
Example 2.
Set E has 5 elements namely, a, e, I, o, u. The cardinality of set E is 5. In symbols,

Set G is an infinite set. Its cardinality is infinite. Hence, n(G) = ∝

Union of Sets
The union of two sets A and B is the set whose elements are those
which belong to set A, or to set B, or to both sets. In symbols, the union of set A

INTERSECTION OF SETS
The intersection of sets A and B is the set whose elements are common to set
A and set B. In symbols, the intersection of set A and B is
A ∩ B.
This is read as “A intersection B”. In the Venn diagram below, the shaded area
corresponds to A ∩ B.

Differences of two Sets

The difference of sets A and B is the set whose elements belong to set A but which
do not belong to set B. In symbols, the difference of A and B is
