L I. LEARNING SKILLS

After performing the activities in this activity sheet, I can…

✓ illustrate well-defined sets, subsets, universal sets, null set, cardinality of sets, union
and intersection of sets and difference of two sets; and
✓ solve problems involving sets with the use of Venn Diagram.

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

In your previous Grade levels, you learned how to classify groups or sets of things
which involve patterns and numbers. In this Learner’s Packet, you will learn about sets,
subsets, cardinality of sets, union and intersection of sets and then apply its basic concepts on
solving problems using Venn diagrams.

III. ACTIVITIES
The table shows the ages, birthdays and genders of 10 students in Grade 7 – Sunflower.
Student in 7-Sunflower Age Birthday Gender
Maria 13 September 11 Girl
Marco 15 October 12 Boy
Xavier 15 September 10 Boy
Ana 13 October 9 Girl
Joan 13 December 7 Girl
Angel 15 September 6 Girl
Erica 12 November 9 Girl
Abe 13 October 19 Boy
Rommel 15 February 4 Boy
Oriel 14 November 8 Boy

Using the data,

1. Set A is composed of Maria, Ana, Joan, Angel, and Erica. In symbols:

A = { Maria, Ana, Joan, Angel, Erica } or A={names of girls}

2. B = { names of students whose age is 13}
RO_MATHEMATICS_GRADE 7_Q1_LP 1 1
 Groups A and B are examples of sets. Group A is a collection of girls in the given data.
Group B is a collection of students whose age is 13. The students in each group share a
common characteristic which is well-defined. Maria, Ana, Joan, Angel and Erica are elements
of Set A. Maria, Ana, Joan and Abe are elements of Set B.

A capital letter is used to name a set. The elements are enclosed in curly braces { }.

There are two ways of writing a set: roster notation or listing method and set-builder
notation.

a. In roster notation, the elements are listed one by one and are separated by a
comma.
A= {Maria, Ana, Joan, Angel, Erica}
B = {Maria, Ana, Joan, Abe}
b. In set-builder notation, a descriptor is used instead of listing all the elements of
the set.
A = {x|x is a girl in 7-Sunflower}
B = {x|x is a student in 7-Suflower whose age is 13}
The symbol x|x is read as “x such that x”

The universal set, U, is the set that contains all elements under consideration. If all
the elements of set A are also elements of set B, then A is a subset of B. This means
that subsets can be created from any defined universal set. The set of natural numbers
itself is a subset of the set of real numbers.

✓ Set A is a proper subset of B if and only if all the elements in A are in B, but B
contains at least one element that is Not in A.

Example: B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and A = {1, 2, 5}

A is a proper subset of B. In symbol, A⊂B.
All the elements of A are elements of B. But, there elements in B which are Not in A.

✓ Set A is an improper subset of B if and only if all the elements in A are in B, and all
the elements of B are in A.
Cardinality of set is the total number of elements included in a set. So, instead of
saying: “There are 7 elements in Set A”, we just simply say: “The cardinality of Set A is 7”. Im
symbols, n(A)=7.

Intersection of sets is a set containing elements common to the given set. The
intersection of A and B, denoted by A ∩ B, is the set containing all elements of A that also
belong to B.
Union of sets is the set of all elements form by two or more sets. The union of A and
B, denoted by A ∪ B, is the set of elements which are in A or in B or in both.
✓ “or” denotes union while “and” denotes intersection.

Difference of sets is the set of all elements of A that are not elements of B.
This can be written as A – B.

 Venn diagram is a visual illustration that uses geometric shapes usually rectangles
and circles.

Two sets are said to be joint sets if they have a common element.
Two sets are said to be disjoint sets if they have no element in common. 1

VENN DIAGRAMS
Observe the Venn diagrams below. When can operation on set be possibly performed?

Figure 1 Figure 2

In Figure 1, the two circles overlap each other. Set A and B have something in common.
An element in A is also an element in B. Figure 1 illustrates Joint Sets

In Figure 2, the two sets are separated from each other. Set A and B have no element
in common. Figure 2 illustrates Disjoint Sets. Operation on sets is possible if two sets are
Joint.

A∪B A∩B

C∪D C∩D

RO_MATHEMATICS_GRADE 7_Q1_LP 1 3
DIFFERENCE OF TWO SETS

When we talk about the word difference, the basic operation we are dealing with is
subtraction. Difference of two sets means you will take elements that both sets have
(intersection}, and the remaining element will be left on the sets. Let us take the examples
above.

Examples: (From the Venn Diagrams in Figure 3)

1. A-B= {d} 2. B-A= {a} 3. C-D= { } 4. D-C= {b, d, c}

Notice A-B is not the same as B-A, likewise with C-D and D-C.

The set notation A-B means what is left in A after taking out the intersection of the two sets or
in another word A only. B-A means take out their intersection and what is left only in B will be
the difference of two sets. This condition is true also to the notation C-D and D-C. In addition,
notice also that C-D is an empty set. Based from the given diagram below, we can say that set
C is part of set D. Thus, all elements in C are in D. The shaded region on the Venn diagram
shows this sets operation notation.

 SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING SETS WITH THE USE OF VENN DIAGRAM
With the use of Venn diagram, we can illustrate sets, its subsets, its relationships and
its operations. We can solve problems by using our knowledge on sets and Venn diagram.
In a class of 35 students, 19 students like summer vacation, 25 students like Christmas
vacation and 12 students like both. Find the number of students who like;
a. Summer vacation only
b. Christmas vacation only
c. Either summer vacation or Christmas vacation
d. Neither summer vacation nor Christmas vacation
Answers: Construct a Venn diagram.
• As you construct the Venn diagram, how many circles do you need?
• Let Circle S be the students who like summer vacation and Circle C, the students who
like Christmas vacation
The number 35 should be equal to the total number of a. students who like
summer vacation b. students who like Christmas vacation c. students who like either
summer vacation or Christmas vacation and d. students who like neither summer
vacation nor Christmas vacation

• Start writing first the number of students who like both summer vacation and Christmas
vacation. From the given, there are 12 students. This must be written on the intersection
of the two circles;

12

S C

• From this, you can already write the number of students who like summer vacation only
and the number of students who like Christmas vacation only by subtracting 12 from
the given number of students;
For summer vacation, 19 – 12 = 7;
For Christmas vacation, 25 – 12 = 13

7 12 13

S C

• 19 students like summer vacation; 12 of them like summer vacation and at the same
time Christmas vacation. How many students like summer vacation only? 19-12=7
• 25 students like Christmas vacation; 12 of them like summer vacation and at the same
time Christmas vacation. How many students like Christmas vacation only? 25-12=13
• Adding all the numbers inside the two circles, 7 + 12 + 13 = 32, how many students like
neither summer vacation nor Christmas vacation? 35 – 32 = 3
• You are now ready to illustrate the Venn diagram of this problem.
