Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the (Mathematics 7) Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on (Sets) !

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on (Sets) !

The hand is one of the most symbolized parts of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and

 Lesson

1 Sets

In this lesson you will learn how to define and illustrate a well-defined set and to
identify the elements of the given set.

What’s In

Group and label the objects below according to their characteristics. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

After you label and group the objects, answer the following questions:

a. Why did you group the object as such?

b. How many groups are there?
c. What are the names of the groups created?

Notes to the Teacher

This activity will guide you to let the students describe and
illustrate the set.

3
 What’s New

In the collections of objects below, which does not belong to the group?

What is It

Sets
The groups are called sets. Set maybe thought as a collection of objects.
Example:
A set of mountains A set of books A set of buildings

WELL – DEFINED SET

In mathematics, set is a well-defined group or collection of objects that share

common characteristics. The objects contained in the set are called elements.

A set can be named using capital letters like A, B, C, D,…Z and we use braces { }
to group the elements of set separated by commas.

If a set contains many elements, we often use three dots, …, called ellipsis.

*Note: In listing the elements of the set, each distinct element is listed once and the
order of the element does not matter.

Example of well-defined sets

1. The set of primary colors 3. The set of all multiples of 5.

M = {𝑟𝑒𝑑, 𝑦𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤, 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒} Y = {5, 10, 15, … }

2. The set of all even numbers. 4. The set of letter in the word “arrange”.
E = { 2, 4, 6, … } O = { 𝑎, 𝑟, 𝑛, 𝑔, 𝑒}

Example of not well-defined sets

1. The set of famous dancers.

2. The set of punctual students in your class.
3. The set of honest people

4
*Note: The sets given above are not well-defined since people will have different point
of views on famous dancers, punctual students and honest people.

What’s More

State whether each of the following sets is well-defined or not. Write your answer in
the space provided before the number.
_____________________1. The set of young politicians.
_____________________2. The set of types of matter.
_____________________3. The set of versatile actress.

7
 What is It

UNIVERSAL SET

The universal set U is the set that contains all objects under consideration.
Examples:

1. Set U contains the set of whole numbers.

U= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …}

2. Set U contains the set of all letters of the English Alphabet.

U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z}

3. Set U contains the set of days of the week.

U = {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}

SUBSETS

Given any two sets A and B, if every element in A is also an element in B, then A is a
subset of B. The symbol “A  B” is read A is a subset of B.

*Note: Every set is a subset of itself and empty set is also a subset of every set.

Example:

1. R = {1, 2}

The possible subsets are;

Two One Zero
Elements Element Element
{1, 2} {1} { } or ∅
{2}

2. O = {red, blue, yellow}

The possible subsets of O are;

Three Two One Zero
Elements Elements Element Element
{red, blue, yellow } {red, blue } { red } { } or ∅
{red, yellow } { blue }
{ blue, yellow } { yellow }

8
3. S = {3, 6, 9, 12}

The possible subsets of set S are;

Four Three Two One Zero
Elements Elements Elements Element Element
{3, 6, 9, 12} {3, 6, 9} {3, 6} {3} { } or ∅

{m, a, t, h} {m, a, t} {m, a} {m} { } or ∅
{m, a, h} {m, t} {a}
{m, t, h} {m, h} {t}
{a, t, h} {a, t} {h}
{a, h}
{t, h}

5. G = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}

The possible subsets of set G are;

Five Four Three Two One Zero
Elements Elements Elements Elements Element Element
{0, 2, 4, 6, 8} {0, 2, 4, 6} {0, 2, 4} {0, 2} {0} { } or ∅

{2, 6, 8} {4, 8}
{4, 6, 8} {6, 8}

NULL SET

A set with no element is an empty set or null set. The symbol for empty set is { }
or ∅.

9
Example:

1. Set T is the set of counting numbers between 1 and 2.

T = { } or T = ∅

2. Set I is the set of months with 35 days.

I = { } or I = ∅

3. Set M is the set of cars with 60 doors.

M = { } or M = ∅

4. Set B is the set of flying castles.

B = { } or B = ∅

5. Set E is the set of crying trees.

E = { } or E = ∅

CARDINALITY OF SETS

The cardinal number of set A, denoted by n(A), is the number of elements in set A.
Thus, in A = {1, 3, 5, 7}, n(A) = 4 because set A contains 4 elements.

Examples:

Find the cardinality of the following sets.

1. Set D is the set of vowels in English alphabet.

Solution: D = {𝑎, 𝑒, 𝑖, 𝑜, 𝑢}
Answer: n(D) = 5

2. Set R is the set of letters in the word “difficulty”.

Solution: R = {𝑑, 𝑖, 𝑓, 𝑐, 𝑢, 𝑙, 𝑡, 𝑦}
Answer: n(R) = 8

3. Set M is the set of odd numbers between 1 and 3.

Solution: M = { } or M = ∅
Answer: n(M) = 0

4. Set E is the set of letters in the word “survivor”.

Solution: E = {𝑠, 𝑢, 𝑟, 𝑣, 𝑖, 𝑜 }
Answer: n(E) = 6

5. Set K is the set of counting numbers less than 5.

Solution: K = {1. 2. 3. 4}

What animals can live in water? Name them. dog cat fish
What animals can live both in land and water? frog milk fish

What is It

OPERATION OF SETS

Name Symbol Definition

Union ∪ Is the set containing all elements that are in A
or in B.
Intersection ∩ The set that consist of all elements that are
both in A and B.
Difference - Is a set of elements in A that are not in B.

UNION OF SETS

The union of sets A and B, written as A ∪ B, is the set of elements that are members
of A, or members of B, or members of both A and B.

Example:

1. If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6},

then A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

2. If A = {a, b, c, d, e} and B = {a, e, i, o, u},

then A ∪ B = {a, b, c, d, e, i, o, u}

3. If A = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday} and

B = {Saturday, Sunday}, then A∪B = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday}

14
INTERSECTION OF SETS

The intersection of two sets A and B, written as A ∩ B, is the set of all elements
common to both sets A and B.

Example:

1. If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6}, then A ∩ B = {1, 2}

2. If A = {a, b, c, d, e} and B = {a, e, i, o, u}, then A ∩ B = {a, e}

3. If A = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday} and B = {Saturday,

Sunday}, then A∩B = { } or ∅

DIFFERENCE OF TWO SETS

The difference of set A and B, written as A – B, is a set of elements in A that are not
in B.

Example:

1. If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6}, then A – B = {3} while, B – A = {4, 5, 6}.

2. If A = {a, b, c, d, e} and B = {a, e, i, o, u}, then A – B = {b, c, d}, while

B – A = {i, o, u}.

3. If A = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday} and B = {Saturday,

Sunday}, then A – B = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday} while
B – A = {Saturday, Sunday}.
