SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

The student will be able to:

  • Determine and write the number of subsets in a set
  • Identify the properties of operations on sets.

CONTENT

  • Finding the number of subsets in a set with n elements
  • Properties of Set OperationsCommutativity
  • Associativity
  • Distributivity

TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Review with students description of sets;
words/set builder notation
listing.
Venn diagrams.


Guide students to deduce the number of subsets in a set with „n‟ elements. i.e. the number of subsets = 2n


Guide students to determine the commutative property of sets involving given sets A and B
i.e. A B = B A ; A U B = B U A


Guide students to determine the associative
property of sets involving three given sets A, B and C, i.e. (A U B) U C = A U (B U C) and (A B) C = A (B C)


Guide students to determine the distributive
property of sets involving three given sets A, B and C, i.e. A U (B C) = (A U B) (A U C) A (B U C) = (A B) U (A C)


Illustrate the properties with Venn diagrams.
