Pattern
● Arrangement of shapes and lines
● The same shape is repeated over a surface at regular intervals
Rules of pattern:
Repeating pattern
● It is a pattern where the rule keeps being repeated
● Usually consist of the same and a letter
Growing pattern
● Numbers are arranged in ascending order from smaller to bigger
● Each number is bigger than the one before it
Shrinking pattern
● There is a decrease in the number of elements or size from one term to the next
Patterns in nature
● Regular structures that can be observed in the environment
LANGUAGE OF SETS
Set
● Any collection of well-defined and distinct objects
● Denoted by capital letters
Well-defined means it is a specific property which makes it easy to identify.
Distinct means the object of s set must be all different.
Elements
The objects or ideas in a set
Written in any order and are not repeated
Denoted by small letter
Methods in Describing a Set
Roster/Listing Method
Described by listing elements
Separated by commas and with braces
Ex. Write the set of months of the year that begin with letter M.
The set of even natural numbers from 80 to 90.
Set-builder Notation/Rule Method
We write down a property rule which gives us all the elements of the set by
that rule
Ex. The set R contains the elements 2, 4 and 6.
The set W contains the elements red, yellow and blue.

LOGIC
Proof
A logical argument
One must demonstrate that a proposition is true in all cases before it is
considered a theorem of mathematics
Unproven proposition
There is some sort of empirical evidence is known as a conjecture
Statements/Proposition
The content of an assertion
It is either true or false but cannot be both true and false at the same time
Conjunction (and)
Two logical proposition that produces a value of true if both statements are true
and is false otherwise
Disjunction (or)
Two logical propositions that is true if either statement is true or both statements
are true and is false otherwise
Negation (not)
An operation on the logical value of a proposition that sends true to false and false
to true
Conditional connective (if-then)
In this statement, P is called antecedent, and Q is called the consequent
Biconditional (if and only if)
An operator connecting two logical propositions that is true if the statements are
both true of both false and it is false otherwise
Tautology
A compound statement or conclusion that always produces truth
Contradiction
A statement that is necessarily false regardless of the truth values of its
propositional variables
