Introduction

In this chapter, students will learn methods of representing sets, types

of sets, basic set operations, fundamental laws of the algebra of sets,
and Venn diagrams. Guide the students to realize some common
methods of representing set activities, types of sets, laws of the
algebra of sets and operating sets using Venn diagrams in real
life. Since students have already learnt the basic concepts of sets
from ordinary level, the concept of sets may not be new to them.
Use several activities which engage them through the use of past
knowledge of the concept of sets towards developing the new
knowledge of categorizing such concepts into major branches as
well as applications of Mathematics. The competencies developed
will enable them to perform various tasks such as organizing,
creating and categorizing objects.

Students’ activities
(a) Performing set operations on three related sets
(b) Simplifying set expressions
(c) Determining the number of elements of a given set

Teaching and learning resources

Real objects, pictures, playing cards, manila cards, marker pens,
coloured chalks, mathematics software, flip charts, pencils, masking
tapes, glue, mathematical sets, and ruler.
