LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET No. 3

Activity Title: Operation of sets

Learning Target 1: I can define and describe the union and intersection of sets.
Learning Target 2: I can illustrate difference of two sets and complement of set.
Reference: Mathematics 7 Learner’s Module, SDO - Manila

Discussion:
INTERSECTION OF SETS
The intersection of sets A and B, written A ∩ B, is the set containing the
elements that are in both A and B.
Example: A = { 1,3,5,7,9}
B = { 2,3,5,7,11}

3, 5 and 7 are the common

elements in set A and B

A ∩ B = {3, 5, 7} Final Answer

UNION OF SETS
The union of sets A and B, written A ∪ B, is the set of all the elements that
are in A, or in B, or in both A and B.
Example: A = { 1,3,5,7,}
B = { 1,2,3,4,}
Combining the elements.
NO repetition
A ∪ B = {1,2,3,4,5,7} Final Answer

COMPLEMENT OF A SET
The complement of a set A, written A’, is the set of elements in the
universal set that are not in A.
Example: ∪ = {1,2,3,4,5}
A = { 2,4} B = {1,2,3,4,5} C= { }
A’ = {1,3,5} B’ = { } C’ = {1,2,3,4,5}

Activity:
Answer the following question: (2pts each)

A. Determine the intersection of set.

1. A = { 1,2,4,6,7 } 3. A = { 2,3,5,7,11}
B = { 1,4,6,7,10 } B = { 3,5,7,9,11}
2. A = { 2,4,6,8 }
B = { 1,3,5,7,9 }

B. Determine the union of set.

1. A = { 2,4,7,10,12 } 2. A = { 5,6,9,11,12 }
B = { 1,6,7,10,11 } B = { 3,6,8,10,12 }

C. Determine the complement of a set using the given Universal set

U = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}

1. A = { 1, 5, 7, 13 }
2. B = { 1, 3, 7, 11}
