Identify the ways on how to write the elements of a set.

Use Venn diagram to represent sets and operations of sets

A set is a well- defined group of objects, called elements that

share a common characteristic. Other important terms you
should remember for this topic are:

1. SUBSET
The set B is a subset of set A if all elements of B are also elements of A. In symbol,
B ⊆ A. We can also say that set A contains the elements in set B or A ⊇ B. If B is a
proper subset of A we write it as B  A
All the elements in set B are also in the
For example: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
elements of set A. Therefore set B is a
B = {2, 4, 6, 8} subset of set A

To identify the subsets of set B, we write B= { {2}, {4}, {6}, {8}, {2,4}, {2,6}, {2,8},
{4, 6}, {4,8}, {6,8}, {2,4,6}, {2,4,8}, {4,6,8}, {2,4,6,8}, ∅ }
2. UNIVERSAL SET
The universal set U is the set that contains all objects under consideration.
3. NULL SET
The null set (∅) is an empty set, it is indicated by a symbol ∅ or { }. The null set is a
subset of any set.
4. CARDINALITY OF A SET
The cardinality of a set A is the number of elements contained in A.
Example: A= {white, red, yellow, blue}
The cardinality of set A is 4

Ways of writing the elements of a set

Uppercase letters will be used to name sets and lowercase letters will be used to
refer to any element of a set. Example: G= { m,a,t,h }

1. Listing or Roster Method

It is the method of naming the elements of a set. We use curly brackets { } or braces
to notate elements.
For example, let C be the set of primary colors or C= {x|x primary colors} we write,
C = {red, blue, yellow}
A Venn diagram is an illustration that uses circles to show the relationships
among things or finite groups of things. Circles that overlap have a
commonality while circles that do not overlap do not share those traits. Venn
diagrams help to visually represent the similarities and differences between
two concepts.

Do you want to have a game? This game is called the

treasure hunt. Every challenge that you will accomplish, you will
get a key that will open each of the treasure chests to unveil the
hidden message. Below is a treasure map that will help you find the
challenges and get the keys. Good luck and Have fun!
Let’s go to your first challenge.

Fill in the blanks. Choose the correct answer from Box B

1. The symbol for universal set is

2. A is a well- defined group of objects,
called elements that share a common
characteristic.
A 3. The three dots ... are called , and
mean "continue on".
4. If set C is a subset of set X, in symbol
C X
5. The null set indicates
6. D= {a,b,c,d,e,f,g} the cardinality of set D is
7. F= {a,b}, the subsets of set F are
F= {{a}, {b}, , ∅}
8. The is the set that contains all
objects under consideration.

GOT IT ALL CORRECTLY?

I got

YES - Proceed to the next activity.

NO - Go over and try the next activity. out of 8

Congratulations! You got the first key. Now that you have
the knowledge on the basic concepts for SETS, your next challenge
is how to write sets. Are you ready for the next challenge? Let’s go!
 ACTIVITY CARD 3

B: Fill in the blank. Write ⊆ or ⊇ if it is a subset of a given set or ⊇ or ⊆ if it

is not a set of a given set. Number 1 is already done for you.

U={mercury,venus,earth,mars,Jupiter,Saturn, uranus, neptune}

A= {mercury, venus,earth,mars,jupiter}
B= {uranus,neptune,}
C= {mercury,venus}
D= {earth,mars,saturn,uranus, neptune}

C. Illustrate the following operations of sets using Venn Diagram.

U= {basketball, volleyball, swimming, tennis, football, chess, sepak, arnis}

A= {volleyball, swimming, tennis}
B= {tennis, football,chess, sepak, arnis}
C= {basketball, volleyball, swimming}
