Radika sat on the steps of her home all by herself. She was lonely
and sad. She missed school and being with her classmates,
especially Maria, Bibi and Sandra. The deadly corona virus
pandemic, commonly known as COVID 19, affected everyone and
everything. Radika could not go to school, she could not attend
church, she could not visit the community library, nor could she visit
her grandparents whom she loved so much. Her family had only one
computer, and her parents and older siblings used it all the time for
work and school instruction. There was really no time for Radika to
get the daily online teaching given by her teacher. Suddenly in the
midst of the silence came a knock on the door. When she peered
past her mother, she saw that it was a kind businessman from a
company further down the road. He was distributing tablets to
school children. Radika was given one. She beamed widely as she
excitedly thanked Mr Williams. She could now, like her classmates,
be a part of the class and continue learning and preparing for her
national examination.
GRAMMAR
TOPIC: SENTENCES AND PHRASES
FACTS/TIPS:
A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete thought. In
order to tell a complete thought, a sentence must tell who or what, it
must also tell what is or what happens. They function as a single part
of speech.
A phrase is a group of related words that add meaning to a
sentence. A phrase is not a sentence because it is not a complete
idea with a subject, verb and a predicate.
Remember: A sentence can consist of one word. The subject may
be implied. Example: (i) Run!
(ii) Come.
PRACTICE EXAMPLES
1. The corona virus commonly known as COVID -19 has affected
everyone and everything. (sentence)
2. Radika could not go to school. (sentence)
3. Given by her teacher (phrase)
4. For work and school instruction (phrase)

VOCABULARY
Alphabetical Order 3rd Letter: Alphabetical order is a way to arrange
a list of words by following the order of the letters of the alphabet,
according to which letters come first. If they all begin with the same
first letter then the second letter is compared. The same concept is
applied if the first and second letters are the same; the third letter is
compared.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE

5. anxious 6. participate 7. attended 8. members
Socialization has become a thing of the past, as children cannot

play a friendly game of cricket with their peers or neighbours. This is a
game in which many are always anxious to participate. Birthday
parties cannot be attended by all family members and friends due
to the fact that only a limited number of persons can be in a building
at the same time. Weddings are also attended by a limited few
since you must not be in crowded areas where the virus can be
transmitted to others. It is now a taboo to cough. If someone coughs
in the presence of others all attention is directed to him or her.
COMPOSITION
TOPIC: Narrative Writing
Facts/Tips: Narrative essay is a form of writing that asks a pupil to tell
a story. It can be written to motivate, educate or entertain the
reader. A good narrative essay has story elements — a beginning,
middle and ending, as well as plot, characters, setting and climax —
bringing them together to complete the story.
ELEMENTS OF A NARRATIVE ESSAY
Characters- Anything that performs an action or speaks the dialogue
in the story. Characters are animals or people in a story.
Setting-Location and time of the story
Conflict-The problem or complication that affects the setting or
characters
Climax- The part of the story where the action is at its peak
Resolution- Conclusion of the story where the problem is solved

Read the text below

The wearing of a mask has now become a custom. The reason for
wearing a mask is to help protect others from you when you sneeze,
cough, or even talk and spray viral droplets into the air. So, wearing
a mask is showing respect for others and is your way of helping to
lessen the spread of the disease. Children like me have shown signs
of not being able to wear these masks for long periods. We tend to
remove them and leave them laying on our chins. Breathing has also
become strained with this cloth covering our mouths and noses. I
long for the moments when I am in my home so that I can breathe
fresh air without a mask covering my face.
COMPREHENSION
Topic: Following instructions

of your own.
Frustrated, I sat watching my teacher on zoom explaining what

needed to be done for today’s classes. Instantly I remembered that
unforgettable day when the head teacher had visited our
classroom. She spoke to our class teacher for about ten minutes. We
all knew something was wrong from the distressed, serious look on
our teacher’s beautiful round face. Miss Thomas went to the front of
the class. Anyone would have noticed that she wasn’t the joyful
person she always portrayed. She explained to us that we all would
have to stay at home until further notice because of the corona
virus. I heard Miss calmly calling my name. I then came out of my
trance and tried to follow the lesson.

GRAMMAR
TOPIC: Negative sentences
FACTS/TIPS
Negative sentences state that something is false or basically the
opposite of the truth. We are able to create negative sentences with
the help of negative words and adding the word not after auxiliary
verbs.
Some negative words are:

• No
• Not
• None
• Hardly
• Barely
• Seldom
• Scarcely
• Nor
• No one
• Nobody
• Nothing
• Neither
• Nowhere
• Never
When a sentence has double negatives, it is already considered
incorrect because a negative sentence should only have one
negative.
Negative sentences can be changed to positive sentences.
Nobody changes to anybody.
Nothing changes to anything.
Nowhere changes to anywhere.
None changes to any.
Neither changes to either.
Never changes to ever.
Nor changes to or.
PRACTICE EXAMPLES

VOCABULARY
TOPIC: Figurative Language
FACTS/TIPS
Figurative language is language that's intended to create an

image, association, or other effect in the mind of the listener or
reader that goes beyond the literal meaning or expected use of
the words involved.
Simile- : a figure of speech comparing two unlike things using like

or as.
Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an

object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain
an idea or make a comparison. A metaphor states that one thing
is another thing. It equates those two things not because they
actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or
symbolism.
PRACTICE EXAMPLES
Identify each statement as a simile or metaphor.
1. Her hair was as black as coal. (simile)

2. Life is a highway. (metaphor)
3. He is strong like an ox. (simile)
4. She has a heart of gold. (metaphor)

VOCABULARY
TOPIC: Figurative Language- Simile and Metaphor
FACTS/TIPS
Similes and metaphors are a bit like the superheroes of writing. They
rescue boring writing and help make it memorable and strong. They
also have a different meaning from the words being used. To use
metaphors effectively we must know their meanings.
PRACTICE WORK
Read the metaphors and their meanings.
1. "The market is a jungle out here."
The market isn't actually the jungle. But because of all the people
walking around and chattering, you might see it like a jungle filled
with all sorts of animals.
2. "A heart of gold"
This refers to a person who is kind, good-natured, or generous. The
term "gold" is used because it's something valued for its goodness.
3. "A diamond in the rough"
Saying that someone is a diamond in the rough is like saying that
they are a good person who lacks manners, education, or style.
ON YOUR OWN
Match the metaphors to their meanings.
Metaphor Meaning
Life is a roller coaster. Knowing a lot of words or facts
He is a walking dictionary. An artist creates wonders with
his paintbrush.

The corona virus also known as COVID -19 has affected lives both
positively and negatively. It has created stronger family bonds.
Families spend more time at home in each other’s company. There
are guidelines governing this pandemic. These are enforced by law
enforcement officers who penalize you once you are caught out of
your homes after the set curfew. Masks have become an
uncomfortable but safe addition to our dress. Hands are now being
washed and sanitized more than before as a preventative means of
contracting the virus. Hugging and kissing our friends and loved ones
are now done at our own risk. Social distancing and coughing in the
comforts of your elbows are the new trends. Teaching and learning
are now done online. Will this pandemic ever end?

Topic: Direction
FACTS/TIPS
The way to a place is called direction. In order to find a place, we

must know in what direction from us it lies. Most commonly,
directions are provided in terms of whether the place lies north,
south, east, or west of where we are currently located.
Other terms used when giving directions are
 Go straight ahead.
 Turn back / Go back.
 Turn left/right.
 Go along …
 Cross …
 Take the first/second road on the left/right.
 It’s on the left/right.
 Go past.
 It’s on the corner
 It’s in the middle of the block.

PRACTICE EXERCISE
Study the map carefully then answer the questions that follow.
You are on Bond Street, write the directions when you left Bond
Street stopped at the café then visited the cinema.
Walk north on Bond Street, turn right into Green Street. Take the first
left like you are heading to King’s Road. On the corner you would
see the café. On Kings Road continue going west until you reach the

SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS
LESSON: 1 Week 1
TOPIC: SETS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Describe sets in words and list members using braces.
FACTS/ TIPS
 A set is a collection or group of objects that share a common

property or characteristic.
 The objects which make up a set are called elements.
 Curly brackets ({ }) are used to represent sets.
 When describing sets we look at the property of each element.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
A set can be described by:
(a) listing all of its elements. For example P={1, 3, 5, 7, 9} which reads as
‘P’ is the set whose elements are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The five elements
are separated by commas and the list is enclosed in curly brackets.
(b) Writing a description for the elements within the curly brackets. For
example the set P={1, 3, 5, 7, 9} can also be described as
P={odd numbers less than 10} or P={the first five odd numbers} or
P={odd numbers from 1 to 9} or P={odd numbers between 0 and 10}
When using words to describe sets, we must be able to
correctly list all the elements of the set using the description.
ON YOUR OWN:
Using curly brackets, list all the elements of the following sets:
I. T= {the first four even numbers} _________________________________

II. X={primary colours} _________________________________
III. Y={polygons with no more than six sides} ___________________________
IV. R={natural numbers between 9 and 18} ____________________________
V. H={main groups of vertebrates} _________________________________
VI. W={whole numbers less than 25 divisible by 4} ______________________
Write a description for the following sets:
I. B={1, 2, 3, 6} ______________________________________________________
II. D={September, April, June, November}
__________________________________________________________________
III. J={square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium}
_________________________________________________________________
IV. K={10, 15, 20, 25} ________________________________________________
V. L={Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia,
Antarctica}

 Empty sets or Null sets have no elements at all. The symbols Ø or

{ } are used to represent empty or null sets.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
Equal Sets
Two sets are called equal if they have exactly the same elements e.g.
{vowels in the English alphabet} = {a, e, i, o, u}
The two sets above are equal because they contain exactly the same
elements i.e. when we list the elements of the set {vowels in the English
alphabet} the result will be {a, e, i, o, u}.
Other examples of equal sets include:
P = {first three multiples of 4}

Therefore, P=Q= {12, 8, 4}
Q= {4, 8, 12}
W = {Amerindians, East Indians, Chinese}

Therefore, W=X
X= {ancestors who came from Asia}
The order in which the elements are written within the curly
brackets does not matter at all. For example:
{1, 3, 5, 7, 9} = {3, 9, 7, 5, 1} = {5, 9, 1, 3, 7}
On the other hand, the sets B= {1, 3, 5} and C = {1, 2, 3} are not equal
because they have different elements. This is written as B ≠ C (Read this
as B is not equal to C).
NOTE: The symbol ≠ means ‘is not equal to’.
Equivalent sets
Two sets are equivalent to each other if the number of elements in both
the sets is equal. The elements do not need to be the same e.g. S={2, 4,
6, 8} and R={T, H, E, M} are equivalent because they both contain the
same number of elements. These sets may be written as S~R or S≡R or
S ↔R.
Other examples of equivalent sets include:
X = {factors of 4} Y= {letters of the word ‘CAR’}
In the above example, the factors of 4 are {1, 2, 4} and the elements
in Y are {C, A, R}. Therefore, both X and Y each have 3 elements.
These sets are called equivalent and may be written as X~Y or X≡Y
or X ↔Y.
U = {main groups of living things} V = {factors of 7}
Each set, U and V has two elements. Therefore, U and V are

equivalent sets.
Whenever descriptions of sets are given, we first need to list

the members of the sets described before we can identify
whether the sets are equal, or equivalent or neither.
Empty set or Null set
Empty sets have no elements in them e.g. Z= {donkeys that can fly}. When
we begin to list the elements of Z, we realize that it has no elements since
donkeys do not fly. Therefore, Set Z is an example of an empty set or a null
set.
Other examples of empty sets include:
W= {lions which are herbivores}

W, X and Y are all empty
X= {prime numbers with 3 or more factors} or null sets because
each of the three sets
Y= {Polygons with less than 3 sides}
has no elements.
NOTE: All empty sets are also equivalent sets since they all have the same
number of elements.
{∅} does not symbolize the empty set; it represents a set that
contains an empty set as an element. Therefore, this set is no
longer empty since it has one element.

TOPIC: SETS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Define the term subsets.

Identify subsets of given sets.
Use braces to list members of subsets of given sets and use
the symbol for "is a subset of."
Recognise and use set symbols to denote sets.
.
FACTS/ TIPS
 A subset is a set of elements that are also in another set.

 Subsets are smaller sets formed from larger sets. For example,
A={cat, dog}. Possible subsets of A are: {cat}, {dog}, {cat, dog}, { }
 The empty set is a subset of all sets.
 The original set is also a subset of itself.
 The symbol ⊂ is used to represent subsets. It means ‘is a subset of’.
 The symbol ⊄ means ‘is not a subset of’.
 The formula 2n is used to calculate the number of subsets of any
set. In the formula, ‘n’ represents the number of elements in the
set. For example the number of subsets that can be obtained
from A={cat, dog} is 22 since there are two elements in the set.
Therefore 22 = 2 x 2 = 4 subsets.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
Farmer Joe was looking for help to reap his crop of watermelons.
Mark, Daniel and Shawn went to Farmer Joe to ask for a job.
If we look at the set of boys – Mark, Daniel, Shawn, Farmer Joe could
have asked:
(a) all three of them (b) Mark only (c) Daniel only
(d) Shawn only (e) Mark and Daniel (f) Mark and Shawn
(g) Daniel and Shawn (f) none of them
The possible combinations are subsets of the original set.
The subsets that can be formed from W={red, black, green} are:
{red}, {black}, {green} , {red, black} , {red, green} , {black, green}
{red, black, green} , { }
Therefore we can say {red} is a subset of W or {red} ⊂ W. The symbol ⊂ is
read as ‘is a subset of’.
{White} is not a subset of W since {white} was not part of the original set.
We can write this math sentence as {white} ⊄ W. The symbol ⊄ is read as
‘is not a subset of’.
We can also use a table to list the subsets of a given set. E.g.
Z= {apple, banana, cherry}
List of subsets Total

zero elements {} 1
one element {apple}, {banana}, {cherry} 3
{apple, banana}, {apple, cherry},
two elements 3
{banana, cherry}
three elements {apple, banana, cherry} 1
Total number of subsets: 8
The formula 2n is used to calculate the number of subsets of any set. In
the formula, ‘n’ represents the number of elements in the set.
For example the number of subsets that can be obtained from
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is 25 since there are five elements in the set.
Solution:
The given set A contains 5 elements.
Then, n = 5.
Formula to find number of subsets is = 2n Substitute n = 5.
= 25
=2x2x2x2x2
= 32 subsets
ON YOUR OWN
Using the formula 2n, calculate the number of subsets for each of the
sets below.
1. A= {b, c, d}
2. B = {3, 9}
3. P = {cow, horse, donkey, rabbit}
4. X = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
5. Y = {x, y, z}
6. Q = {3, 8, 12, 16}

TOPIC: NUMBER CONCEPT – PLACE VALUE, FACE VALUE AND VALUE
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Define the terms place value, face value and value.
State the place value, face value and value of digits in
numbers up to hundreds of million.
.
FACTS/ TIPS
 Place value is the position or place of a digit in a given number.

 A place value chart helps us determine the position of a digit in a
number.
 The Face value of a digit in a numeral is the same as the digit itself.
For example, the face value of the 7 in the number 174 295 is 7.
 The Total Value or Value of a digit is the actual value of the digit
according to the place of the digit.
The Total Value = Place Value x Face Value.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
Look at the place value chart.
According to the place value chart each digit has a special position
in the number. E.g. 4 is in the hundreds place (100’s) and 7 is in the
millions place (1000 000’s). These positions are called place value.
In the chart above the face value of the 7 is 7; the face value of the
8 is 8; the face value of the 4 is 4. Therefore, the face value of a digit
is the same digit itself.
The value or total value of a digit is found by multiplying the place

value of the digit by its face value.
Value = Place value X Face value
Example 1: What is the value of the 7 in the chart above?

Place value of the 7 is millions (1000 000)
Face value of the 7 is 7
Value = 1000 000 X 7
Value = 7000 000
Example 2: what is the value of the 9 in the chart above?
Place value of the 9 is thousands (1000)
Face value of the 9 is 9
Value = 1000 X 9
Value = 9000
ON YOUR OWN
Look at the following numbers. State the place value, face value and
value of each digit.
The first one is done for you.
Number: 4 583
Digit Face Value Place Value Value

4 4 Thousands (1000) 4 X 1000 = 4000
5 5 Hundreds (100) 5 X 100 = 500

LESSON: 1 Week 2
TOPIC: SETS: UNIVERSAL SETS AND SUBSETS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Define the term Universal Set. .

Identify and represent the Universal Set on Venn diagrams.
Represent subsets using Venn diagrams.
FACTS/ TIPS
 The Universal Set is the set that contains all the elements of the other
sets.
 The Universal Set is represented by the symbol U or ξ
 On a Venn diagram, the Universal set is represented using a

rectangle. E.g.
 A Venn diagram or Set diagram uses overlapping circles or other

shapes to sort data into two or three circles which overlap in the
middle. E.g.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
In a Venn diagram, the universal set is generally drawn as a large

rectangle, and then other sets are represented by circles within this
rectangle. E.g. If V = {vowels}, we could choose the universal set as
U= {letters of the alphabet}. Therefore, all the letters of the alphabet
would then need to be placed somewhere within the rectangle, as
shown below.
In the Venn diagram below, the universal set is ξ = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

9, 10}, and each of these numbers has been placed somewhere within
the rectangle.
The region inside the circle represents the set A of odd whole numbers
between 0 and 10. Therefore, we place the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 inside
the circle, because A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}. Outside the circle we place the other
numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 that are in ξ (the universal set) but not in A.
Representing subsets on Venn diagrams
When completing Venn diagrams we must:
(a) List the elements of each set.

(b) Identify the common elements in the sets. NOTE: If all the
elements of one set belong to another set then we draw a Venn
diagram with circles within each other as shown below.
Example:
Given that: U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
A= {Counting numbers from 2 to 8}
B= {prime numbers from 1 to 9}
(a) List the elements of A.
(b) List the elements of B
(c) List the common elements/members of Sets A and B.
(d) Draw a Venn diagram to represent the information above.
Solution:
(a) Elements of A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
(b) Elements of B = {2, 3, 5, 7}
(c) Common elements/members of Sets A and B = {2, 3, 5, 7}
NOTE: Since all the elements of Set B are inside of Set A, we can say
that Set B ⊂ Set A. As such we draw two circles inside each other to
represent the sets on a Venn diagram.

LESSON: 2 Week 2
TOPIC: SETS: UNION AND INTERSECTION
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Define the terms Union and Intersection. .

Identify and represent the Union and Intersection of sets
on Venn diagrams.
FACTS/ TIPS
 Union of Sets – The Union of Sets A and B is the set of elements that
are members of Set A, Set B, or both Sets. It can be written as ∪ .
NOTE: the word ‘or’ indicates union of two sets.
 The symbol ∪ represents the union of sets.
 The shaded region in the following Venn diagram represents the

Union of Sets A and B.
 Intersection of Sets – The Intersection of Sets A and B is the set of

elements that are in both A and B, i.e. what they have in common.
It can be written as ∩ .
NOTE: the word ‘and’ indicates intersection of sets.
 The symbol ∩ represents the intersection of sets.
 The shaded region on the Venn Diagrams represents the
intersections of Sets A and B.
Example: Find the Intersection and Union for Sets A and B.

Set A = {Red, Blue, Green}
Set B = {Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Green}
Set A and B only

Intersection: ∩ = {Red, Green} have 2 elements
in common.
Union: A ⋃ B = {Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple}
List each distinct element only once, even if

it appears in both Set A and Set B.
REMEMBER
 The overlapping region of two circles represents the intersection of the
two sets.
 Two circles together represent the union of the two sets.
 When two sets are disjoint, we can draw the two circles without any
overlap.
 When one set is a subset of another, we can draw its circle inside the
circle of the other set.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
The intersection of two sets

The intersection of two sets A and B consists of all elements belonging to
A and to B. This is written as A ⋂ B. For example, some musicians are
singers and some play an instrument.
If A = { singers } and B = {instrumentalists }, then

A ⋂ B = {singers who play an instrument}.
Here is an example using letters.

If V = { vowels } and F = { letters in ‘dingo’ }, then
V = {a, e, i, o, u} and F = {d, i, n, g, o}. Therefore, V ⋂ F = { i , o } since i and 0
are common in both sets.
The last example can be represented on a Venn diagram as follows:
Intersection and the word ‘and’
The word ‘and’ tells us that there is an intersection of two sets.
For example:
{ singers } ⋂ { instrumentalists } = { people who sing and play an instrument }
{ vowels } ⋂ { letters of ‘dingo’ } = { letters that are vowels and are in

‘dingo’ }
Disjoint sets
Two sets are called disjoint if they have no elements in common.
For example: The sets S = {2, 4, 6, 8 } and T = { 1, 3, 5, 7 } are disjoint.
Another way to define disjoint sets is to say that their intersection is the
empty set, Two sets A and B are disjoint if A ⋂ B = Ø or { }.
In the example above,
S ⋂ T = Ø or { } because no number lies in both sets.
The union of two sets

The union of two sets A and B consists of all elements belonging to A or to
B. This is written as A ⋃ B. Elements belonging to both sets belong to the
union.
Continuing with the example of singers and instrumentalists:

If A = { singers } and B = { instrumentalists },
then A ⋃ B = { musical performers }.
In the case of the sets of letters:

If V = { vowels } and F = { letters in ‘dingo’ },
then V ⋃ F = {a, e, i, o, u, d, n, g }.
Union and the word ‘or’
The word ‘or’ tells us that there is a union of two sets. For example:
{ singers } ⋃ { instrumentalists } = { people who sing or play an instrument }
{ vowels } ⋃ { letters in ‘dingo’ } = { letters that are vowels or are in ‘dingo’}
The word ‘or’ in mathematics always means ‘and/or’, so there is no need

to add ‘or both’ to these descriptions of the unions. For example,
If A = { 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 } and B = { 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 }, then
A ⋃ B = { 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 }.
Representing the intersection and union on a Venn diagram

The Venn diagram below shows U= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} and the
two sets A = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 } and B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
 The numbers 1, 3 and 5 lie in both sets, so we place them in the

overlapping region of the two circles.
 The remaining numbers in A are 7 and 9. These are placed inside A,
but outside B.
 The remaining numbers in B are 2 and 4. These are placed inside B,
but outside A.
Therefore, the overlapping region represents the intersection
A ⋂ B = { 1, 3, 5 }, and the two circles together represent the union
A ⋃ B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 }.
The four remaining numbers 0, 6, 8 and 10 are placed outside both
circles.
ON YOUR OWN
REMEMBER:
When completing Venn diagrams we must:
(a) List the elements of each set.

(b) Identify the common elements in the sets. NOTE: If there are
common elements, then we draw overlapping circles; if there
are no common elements then we draw separate circles e.g.
Complete the following exercises:
1. Given that: U={Whole numbers from 10 to 20}

P= {Natural numbers between 10 and 20}
Q= {Prime numbers between 10 and 20}
(c) List the elements/members of the following sets:
(ii) P (ii) Q (iii) P∩Q (iv) P⋃Q

TOPIC: SETS – COMPLEMENTS OF SETS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Define the term complement. .

Identify and represent the Complement of sets on Venn
diagrams.
FACTS/ TIPS
 The Complement of Set A, written as ′, is the set of all elements in
the given Universal Set (U), that are not in Set A.
Example: Let = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} and = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Find ′.
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Cross off everything in U that is also in A. What is left over

will be the elements that make up ′ (A complement).
So, ′ = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
Symbols for complement
'
 The symbols A or Ac represent the complement of sets.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
The complement of a set

Suppose that a suitable universal set U has been chosen. The complement
of a set S is the set of all elements of U that are not in S. The complement
of S is written as S' or Sc.
For example,
If U = { letters of the alphabet } and V = { vowels }, then Vc = { consonants }
If U = { whole numbers } and O = { odd whole numbers },
then Oc = {even whole numbers}.
Complement and the word ‘not’

The word ‘not’ corresponds to the complement of a set.
For example, in the two examples above,
Vc = { letters that are not vowels } = { consonants }
Oc = { whole numbers that are not odd } = { even whole numbers }
The set Vc in the first example can be represented on a Venn diagram as
follows:
NOTE: The shaded region represents the complement of V or V' or Vc

TOPIC: NUMBER CONCEPT – READING AND WRITING NUMBERS IN WORDS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: To be able to read and write numbers numerically and in

words.
To be able to recognise number names and corresponding

numerals.
FACTS/ TIPS
 All numbers are read from left to right. You can use place value,
the value of a digit based on its position in the number, to help
you read the number.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
(a) 457 – four hundred, fifty-seven.

(b) 1 457 – one thousand, four hundred, fifty – seven.
(c) 21 457 – twenty-one thousand, four hundred, fifty-seven.
(d) 321 457 – three hundred twenty-one thousands, four
hundred, fifty-seven.
(e) 6 321 457 – six million, three hundred twenty-one thousands,
four hundred, fifty-seven.
(f) 65 321 457 – sixty-five million, three hundred twenty-one
thousands, four hundred, fifty-seven.
(g) 865 321 457 – eight hundred sixty-five million, three hundred
twenty-one thousands, four hundred, fifty-seven.
REMEMBER: We use the place value of digits to help us to express
numbers in words.
We group the digits of numbers in groups of three starting from the

right to help us to identify the place value. E.g.
Therefore, the number 987, 654, 321 is read as nine hundred eighty-
seven millions, six hundred fifty-four thousands, three hundred twenty-
one.
NOTE: commas are used to separate the different values.
Numbers like 21, 54, 87 are written in words with a hyphen, i.e.
twenty – one, fifty – four, eighty – seven.

TOPIC: SETS – VENN DIAGRAMS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: To develop skills in reading and interpreting Venn Diagrams
To be able to make logical deductions from the information

displayed on Venn Diagrams to solve problems
.
FACTS/ TIPS
 A Venn diagram or Set diagram uses overlapping circles or other

shapes to sort data into two or three circles which overlap in the
middle. E.g.
 Venn diagrams help us to sort and analyze data quickly.

 The type of Venn diagram used to sort and represent data depends
on the elements that are common in the sets. E.g. If the sets have
elements in common then we use an intersecting Venn diagram. If
there are no common elements, then we use a disjoint Venn
diagram.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
SOLVING PROBLEMS USING A VENN DIAGRAM

Keeping count of elements of sets
Before solving problems with Venn diagrams, we need to work out how to
keep count of the elements of overlapping sets.
The Venn diagram below shows two sets, A and B, inside a universal set U, where
No. in (A) = 6 and no. in (B) = 7, with 3 elements in the intersection A ⋂ B.
This Venn diagram shows only the number of elements in each of the four
regions.
These numbers are placed inside round brackets so that they don’t look
like elements.
You can see from the diagrams that

n(A) = 6 and n(B) = 7, but A⋃B ≠ 6 + 7.
The reason for this is that the elements inside the overlapping region A ⋂ B
should only be counted once, not twice. When we subtract the three
elements of A ⋂ B from the total, the calculation is then correct.
Therefore, n(A⋃B) = 6 + 7 – 3 = 10.
ON YOUR OWN
1. Study the Venn diagram below carefully, then answer the questions.

FACTS/ TIPS
Problem solving using Venn diagrams

 First identify the sets involved.
 Then construct a Venn diagram to keep track of the numbers in
the different regions of the diagram.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
Problem
A travel agent surveyed 100 people to find out how many of them had
visited the countries of USA and Canada. Thirty-one people had visited
USA, 26 people had been to Canada, and 12 people had visited both
countries. Draw a Venn diagram to find the number of people who had
visited:
I. USA and Canada
II. Canada but not USA
III. only one of the two countries
IV. neither countries.
Solution
Let A be the set of people who had visited USA, and let C be the set of
people who had visited Canada. Let the universal set U be the set of
people surveyed.
The information given in the question can now be rewritten as

n(A) = 31, n(C) = 26, n(A⋂C) = 12 and n(U) = 100.
Therefore, number in A only = 31 – 12

= 19
Number in C only = 26 – 12
= 14
I. Number visiting USA or Canada = 19 + 14 +12 = 45.
II. Number visiting Canada only = 14.
III. Number visiting only one country = 19 + 14 = 33.
IV. Number visiting neither countries = 100 – 45 = 55.

TOPIC: NUMBER CONCEPT – COMPARING AND EXPANDING NUMBERS
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: To recognise and compare numbers up to hundreds of

millions.
To be able to expand numbers.
.
FACTS/ TIPS
 When comparing numbers, it is important to know the value of

the most significant digit in each of the numbers. This will tell you
how large each number is.
 The most significant digit is the first non-zero digit the number has.
 The number with the largest-valued most significant digit will be

the bigger number, unless it is a negative number. E.g.
I. In the number 2318, the most significant digit is '2' which has
the value 2000.
II. In the number 74.39, the most significant digit is '7' which has
the value 70.
III. In the number 0.0825, the most significant digit is '8' which
has the value 0.08.
 If the two numbers are both positive integers (whole numbers)

then looking at the number of digits the number has will show you
which is bigger.
 We often use the symbols >, < and = when comparing numbers.
PRACTICE EXAMPLE
Using the symbols >, < and =
Take 2 numbers a and b
a > b means a is greater than b;

a < b means a is less than b;
a = b means ‘a’ is equal to (or has the same value as) ‘b’.
Examples
 137 > 129 means that 137 is greater than 129
 65 < 72 means that 65 is less than 72
 27 = 20+7 means that 27 has the same value as 20+7
 6 005 001 is greater than 2 605 001. We write 6 005 001> 2 605 001
 3 961 404 is less than 49 961 404. We write 3 961404 <49 961 404.
 3694 is equal to 3694. We write 3694 = 3694.
Expanded Form
Numbers can be written in expanded form. Expanded form can be
demonstrated in two ways.
For example:
4123 = 4,000 + 100 + 20 + 3

or
4123 = (4 × 1,000) + (1 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (3 × 1).
50,302 = 50000 + 300 + 2

or
50,302 = (5 × 10,000) + (3 × 100) + (2 × 1).

Name: _______________________________________________ Date: ___________________
OBJECTIVES: Describe the order of operations as it relates to multiple

operations.
State the rule of order of signs (BODMAS/ BOMDAS/

BIMDAS/PEMDAS)
FACTS / TIPS
1. Mathematical rules exist to guide us to understand the order

in which we should do operations. We use these rules to
solve problems with two or more operations.
2. These rules are: BODMAS or BOMDAS or BIMDAS or PEMDAS.
3. Each letter in the rule represents a different operation. E.g.
4. Multiplication and division (M, D) can be interchanged in

BODMAS to form the acronymn BOMDAS.
5. BIMDAS is another form of the rule that reads the following:
B BRACKETS ( )
I INDICES X3
M MULTIPLICATION X
D DIVISION ÷
A ADDITION +
S SUBTRACTION -
6. A revised edition of these rules is PEMDAS.
7. We solve a problem from left to right when the part or step

in the problem has addition and subtraction or
multiplication and division.
PRACTICE EXAMPLES
1. 6 – 2 + 8 Since this problem involves addition and

4+8 subtraction; we solve from left to right.
= 12
2. 8 + 5 x 2 According to the rule of BODMAS/PEMDAS

8 + 10 Multiplication must be done before addition.
= 18 Next do the addition part.
3. 32 ÷ 4 – 5 Following BODMAS/PEMDAS do division first.

8-5 Next complete the subtraction part.

Monday, 5 kg on Tuesday and 7 kg on Wednesday. Write a
numerical expression to represent this situation and then find
the amount of dog food Megan had left.
Numerical expression: 15 kg – (2kg + 5kg + 7kg)
Step 1: First solve the brackets to find the total amount of dog
food used.
15 kg – (2kg + 5kg + 7kg)
= 15kg – 14 kg
Step 2: Solve the subtraction part to find the remaining dog

food.
Amount purchased: 15kg
Amount used: - 14 kg
Amount remaining 01 kg
REMEMBER
 When zero is added to a number the answer is the number.
E.g 387 + 0 = 387
 When any number is multiplied by 1, the product is the
number. E.g 694 x 1 = 694
 When any number is multiplied by zero the product is zero.
E.g 58 x 0 = 0

TOPIC: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING THINGS.

FACTS/TIPS
A living thing pertains to any organism or a life form that possesses or
shows the characteristics of life or being alive.
Characteristics of Living Things
Movement- they can move and change their position
Excretion- getting rid of waste
Reproduction- they can make more of the same kind of organism as
themselves.
Respiration- is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to
release energy from food.
Irritability/ Sensitivity- they can detect or sense stimuli and respond
to them.
Nutrition - the intake and use of nutrients. This occurs in very different
ways in different kinds of living things.
Growth- All living things grow.
Animals can be classified meaningfully by using their structure, life
cycle, development and behaviour.
Every animal belongs to one of the two major groups, vertebrates or
invertebrates.
The chart below shows the classification of animals.
Animals
Vertebrates Invertebrates
Fishes Arthropods Insects

Arachnids
Crustaceans
Amphibians Myriapods
Reptiles Molluscs
Round Worm
Mammals Worms Flat Worms
Segmented Worms
Birds
Vertebrates are animals with backbones and internal skeletons. The

internal skeleton helps to support the body of vertebrates.
All vertebrates have definite sense organs which enable them to
see, hear, taste, feel and smell. They also have a well-developed
brain and heart. These organs are not present in most invertebrates.
Examples of Vertebrates.
Invertebrates
Invertebrates are animals which do not have backbones or internal
skeletons. Most of them have external skeletons which protect and
support their bodies.
Examples of Invertebrates.

TOPIC: VERTEBRATES- Fish

FACTS/TIPS:
• Fishes are the largest group of vertebrates which lives in water.
• They have fins that help them to swim.
• Fishes come in many different colours and sizes.
• Many fishes are silvery in colour but some are very colourful like
fishes found in the corals.
• Most fishes have a true boney skeleton. However, others have
soft bones called cartilage. The stingray is an example of a fish
with cartilage.
• Fishes are usually covered with scales which provide protection.
• Fishes reproduce by laying eggs. Not all fish reproduce by laying
eggs.
• Some fish like the guppies have their eggs remain inside the
bodies of the female fish and they hatch within. The young then
leaves the female body alive.
Characteristics of Fish
Fishes:
- have fins for swimming
-breathe through gills
-are covered with scales which provide protection
-are cold blooded
Parts of a Fish
Functions of the Parts of the Fish

-The pectoral fin allows the fish to dive and also allows the fish to stay
in one spot.
-The dorsal and anal fins help to balance the fish.
-The caudal or tail fin helps the fish to move forward in the water.
-Pelvic Fin balances and positions the fish.
-Gills supply the fish with oxygen that they need from the water.
-Scales protect the fish.
-The lateral line enables the fish to pick up vibrations in the water, thus
enabling them to detect danger.

• All mammals are warm blooded.
• The heart of mammals has four chambers i.e. the heart is
divided into four sections.
• All mammals give birth to their young.
• Mammals feed their young with milk from the breast or
mammary glands i.e. they suckle their young.
• All mammals breathe by lungs.
N.B. Marsupials- are animals that carry their young in pouches e.g.
kangaroo, opossum, koala and bear.
• Mammals that are covered with hair are rat, dog, donkey,
human etc.
• Mammals that are covered with fur are panda, bear, rabbit,
monkey etc.
• Mammals that are covered with skin are whale, seal, walrus
etc.

• Koala bear feeds on leaves.
• Mammals that burrow into the ground are beaver, mole, rat,
chipmunk etc.
• The duck-billed platypus and the spiny anteater are mammals
which lay eggs.
• Bat is the only mammal that can fly.
• The elephant is the largest mammal that lives on land.
AMPHIBIANS
• Amphibians can live in fresh water and on land but not in salty
water.
• They often live in shady places.
• Amphibians have four limbs. They use their limbs for hopping,
crawling and jumping.
• Most amphibians have webbed feet, this allow them to be good
swimmers.
• The body of a frog is made up of two parts the head and the
trunk.
• They have no neck or tail; however the newts and salamander
have tails.
• Frogs and toad feed on insects. Toads have poisonous skin for
protection.
• Amphibians lay their eggs in water.
• On hatching, the young do not look like the adults.
• As the young amphibians grow they change their forms several
times before they become adults.
• The amphibians undergo metamorphosis.
Characteristics of Amphibians
• Most amphibians are covered with moist shiny skin.

• Amphibians breathe by gills when they are young and by lungs
when they are adults.
• All amphibians lay their eggs in water.
• All amphibians are cold blooded.
Life Cycle of a Frog

• The frog lays its eggs in water. Young tadpoles are hatched
from these eggs.
• Tadpoles have fins, tails, heads and external gills.
• Back legs develop first, about eight weeks then the front legs
emerge.
• The tadpole then loses its external gills.
• Gradually the tail shrink and lungs are also developed.
• The adult frog moves to land.
• The tadpole feeds on vegetation (plants).
• Amphibians can take in oxygen through their skin to assist the
lungs.
• Adult amphibians are carnivores; they catch, kill and swallow
any animal they can catch.
• Amphibian’s hearts have three chambers: ventricle (ventrum)
and auricle (atrium).
• The frog uses its tongue to catch its prey. The toad is different
from the frog because it has rough skin.

TOPIC: Metamorphosis.
FACTS/TIPS:
Metamorphosis is the growth and development of an insect from an
egg to adult.
There are two kinds of metamorphosis:
- Complete metamorphosis
- Incomplete metamorphosis.
Complete metamorphosis
• Some insects such as marabunta, butterflies, moths,
mosquitoes, houseflies and bees go through a few stages
of development which are different from each other.
• These stages are known as eggs, larva, pupa and adult

(imago).
• Insects that pass through these four stages of development

are said to undergo a complete metamorphosis.
Life Cycle of a Housefly
• The female housefly lays her eggs in dirty places such as

rubbish heaps and faeces.
• It can lay more than one hundred eggs at a time.
• The eggs are white and so tiny that we cannot see them
with our naked eyes.
• After a short while tiny worm like creature are hatched
from these eggs.
• Each tiny worm is called a maggot. A maggot looks like a
small white worm. The maggot crawls about slowly, eating
and growing.
• They will change into pupa after sometime, the pupa are
oval shape and brown in colour.
• After a few days each pupa becomes an adult housefly.
• An adult insect is called an imago. The housefly dries its
wings and then flies away.
• Houseflies spread diseases such as typhoid. Dysentery,
cholera and gastro enteritis (when they land on our food
they leave worms that can cause diseases).
Incomplete Metamorphosis
• Some insects like grasshopper, dragon fly, termite and

cockroach undergo incomplete metamorphosis.
• They undergo three stages in their development.
• The stages are the egg, nymph and adult or imago.
• The baby resembles the parent.
• Such insects are said to undergo an incomplete
metamorphosis.
• A young that is hatched from the egg is called the
nymph.
Life Cycle of a Cockroach.
• The female cockroach lays her eggs in egg cases.

• It lays sixteen eggs in one. After a few day tiny baby
cockroaches hatch from these eggs.
• The baby cockroaches look exactly like the adult but they
are smaller, have no wings and are called nymphs.
• The nymphs are very active insects. They run about
feeding and growing.
• The cockroach is an insect pest. It picks up dirt and germs
from sewers, drains and rubbish dumps.

TOPIC: THE EARTH’S CLIMATIC ZONES.

FACTS/TIPS:
The world is divided into zones because of the amount of heat it
receives from the sun. The climatic zones help us to understand some
of the relationships between the earth and the sun.
The diagram below shows the zones of the earth.
Effects of Climate Change.

The trapping of the sun's rays by the gases in the atmosphere is
known as the 'Greenhouse effect'. These greenhouse gases - carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone usually trap the sun's
heat. They also send some of the sunlight's rays to the earth. Ozone
which is a by-product of combustion or the burning of fuel,
especially in automobiles and jet aircraft, is beneficial. It is so
because it absorbs the ultra violet rays of the sun.
Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth's average
surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the
greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil fuels.
Global warming can have ill-effects on the earth. It can give rise to
increased water vapour, hence rains; ice and snow will melt rapidly;
oceans, seas, rivers and other waterways will overflow; hence floods.
Too much water around can hinder the free movement of people
from carrying out their daily tasks. Animals and domestic birds may
die. On the other hand, too much ultra violet rays from the sun may
result in skin cancer in people. The intense heat may cause plants
and animals to die in large numbers.
People of the Desert

In the Tropical Zone there are hot deserts where people live. Some
people who live in hot deserts are called nomads.
A hot desert is an area where there is hardly any rain and where
very little vegetation grows.
Their Homes
The homes of these nomads are huts or camp sites in the form of
tents. These tents are set up at a spot where there are trees and
water. The place in the desert where there are trees and water is
called an oasis.
Oases are places in the desert where there is enough water for
palms and other trees to grow.
Their Clothes
People who live in deserts usually wear loose, thick clothing. This is
because the heat is very great during the day and cold at night.
Their Foods
The foods that these people eat are mainly meat, fruits and milk. The
meat of the camel is only used on a very special occasion.

TOPIC: CLIMATIC ZONES.

FACTS/TIPS:
The world is divided into zones because of the amount of heat it
receives from the sun. These zones are called climatic zones.
The Tropical Zone.
The Tropical Zone is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the
Tropic of Capricorn.
Countries within this zone experience very high temperatures.
Countries within this zone include Nigeria and Kenya, the Philippines
and Sri Lanka. Deserts and Savannahs are located in the Tropical
Zone.
People who live in the deserts are called nomads.
The Temperate Zone.
The Temperate zones are the two zones found in the North and
South of the tropics. They are called the North Temperate Zone and
the South Temperate Zone.
Countries in these zones are neither very hot nor very cold all the
time.
They are called the temperate or cool lands.
Countries in these zones experience four seasons. These seasons are
summer, winter, spring and autumn.
The North Temperate Zone is found between the Tropic of Cancer
and the Arctic Circle.
Some countries found here are the U.S.A., Canada and China. The
South Temperate Zone is found between the Tropic of Capricorn and
the Antarctic Circle.
Some countries located in the South Temperate zones are Argentina,
New Zealand and South Africa.
The Frigid or Polar Zone.

The North Polar Zone is located in the Arctic Circle.
The people of the Arctic are called Eskimos. It is very cold in the
Arctic Region, but in June, July and August, it is not so cold. These
months are called summer and the Eskimos live in tents and do lots
of fishing and hunting.
From October to June or July of the following year the sea remains
frozen. During this time they live in their winter homes called igloos.
They wear clothing to protect them from the winter in the Arctic.
The diet of the Eskimos consists of berries, seals, fish, walruses, whales
etc.
The South Polar Zone is located in the Antarctic Circle.
There is no permanent habitation here.
The South Polar Zone (Antarctica) is the world’s highest, driest,
coldest, windiest and iciest continent on earth.
These lands are called cold lands.

TOPIC: EARTH’S MOVEMENTS

FACTS/TIPS:
Rotation
The earth rotates about an imaginary line that passes through the
North and South Poles of the planet.
This line is called the axis of rotation.
Earth rotates about this axis once each day (approximately 24
hours). Rotation causes day and night.
Earth rotates in an anti-clockwise direction from west to east.
As the earth rotates, the half of the earth facing the sun will receive
sunlight while the other half will be in darkness.
Revolution
The movement of the Earth around the Sun in a fixed path is called a
revolution.
Revolution is the revolving of the earth around the sun.
The path which the earth takes around the sun is called its orbit.
A complete revolution of the earth around the sun takes 365 1/4
days, or 366 days every leap year (every four years).
Revolution causes different seasons.

TOPIC: LINES OF LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE.

FACTS/TIPS:
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator.
They form circles around the earth. The equator is also a line of
latitude. Lines of latitude are called parallels.
Functions of lines of Latitude.

The five major lines of latitude, more commonly referred to as the
five major circles of latitude, mark specific points on a globe or map
of Earth. Four of the lines run parallel to the equator and sit north or
south above or below the equator.
Important lines of Latitude:

• The Equator (0°)
• The Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north)
• The Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south)
• The Arctic circle (66.5° north)
• The Antarctic circle (66.5° south)
• The North Pole (90° north)
• The South Pole (90° south).
Lines of Longitude.
Lines of longitude are imaginary half-circles drawn through the

poles.
Lines of Longitude
Lines of longitude run from the top of the Earth to the bottom. They
are not parallel as lines of latitude are - they meet at a point at the
north and south poles and are called meridians.
They divide the Earth into segments, like an orange. Some important
details about these lines include:
• The line which runs through Greenwich in London is called the

Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is 0°
longitude.
• The Earth is then divided into 180° east and 180° west.
• The International Date Line lies at 180° east/west.
• The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the
mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude
north-south line on the Earth.
