Lesson Plan 3 - Sets Lesson 3

The document provides a mathematics lesson plan on sets for 35 minutes. It includes objectives, learning outcomes, induction, content on types of sets, and assessment. The lesson plan defines key concepts such as the empty set (containing no elements, represented by {} or ∅), universal set (containing all elements, represented by U or E), finite sets (having countable elements), and infinite sets (not finite, with an infinite number of elements). It also discusses equal sets (containing the same elements) and equivalent sets (not containing the same elements but having the same number of elements). The lesson employs jigsaw learning and guided discussion to teach the content before assessing student understanding through questions and a multiple choice activity.

AUGUSTINE
MATHEMATICS LESSON PLAN

Teacher: School:
Date: Class: Time: 35 minutes
Unit: Sets, Relations and Functions
Topic: Sets
Pre-knowledge:

Literacy and numeracy skills, classification skills, recognition of plane shapes and
solids, Number Theory (types of numbers), definition of a set, identification of a set,
naming of a set, multiples, factors, even and odd numbers, name a set, represent a set

OBJECTIVES: By the end of this session learners will: Classification


1. Define an empty set, universal set and subset. K

2. Differentiate between finite and infinite sets. AT


3. Determine if sets are equal or equivalent. AT
4. Discuss how these types of set are applicable to real life. Aff/K

LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this session learners Classification


will:
1. Define an empty, the universal set and subsets through given K
examples.

2. Differentiate between finite and infinite sets through AT


evaluation of differences in the types of sets.

3. Determine if sets are equal or equivalent through identification AT


of certain aspects of the sets.

4. Discuss how these types of set are applicable to real life by Aff/K
giving examples.

SET INDUCTION: (Time: 3 minutes) Resources


Teacher puts up a picture of different types of sets on the board and asks Whiteboard
students if these sets are the same or different and what similarities or Markers
differences can be pin pointed. Teacher says hence all sets are not the laptop
same therefore we are going to learn about different types of sets and projector
are continuing with the topic sets.
SECTION 1 (Time: 23 minutes)
Content: Types of sets Associated Objective(s):1-4

Teaching Points:

1. An empty or null set contains no elements.


2. The symbol used to represent the empty or null set is {} or ∅
3. The number of elements in the empty set is 0.
4. The universal set is a set containing all elements.
5. It is represented by the symbol U or E.
6. Finite sets are set having a countable number of elements.
7. An infinite set is one which is not finite, it is called an infinite set because the
number of elements in that set is not countable. 
8. The number of elements in the infinite set is infinite.
9. Equal set contain the same elements.
10. Equivalent sets do not contain the same elements but do contain the same
number of elements.
11. The equivalent sign is ≡.
12. A subset is a part of a larger set, that is, a set A is a subset of set B, if and only
if every element in A is also an element in B.
13. ‘is a subset of’ is represented using the symbol ⊆.

Sectional Review (Assessment): (Time: 3 minutes) Associated
Outcomes: 1 – 3

The teacher asks the following questions:

1. What set contains no elements?

2. What set contains all of the elements?

3. How do you know if a set is infinite?

4. What is the difference between a equal and equivalent set?

CLOSURE: (Time: 2 minutes)


Student are asked to name the different types of sets.

FINAL ASSESSMENT TASK/ACTIVITY: (Time: 4 minutes)


Teacher gives the class 4 multiple choice questions using via plickers.

Reasonable level of Achievement: Outcome(s)


100% will be able to state the types of sets. 1-3
90% will be define the sets. 1-3
90% will be able to create these sets. 1-3
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:
Worksheet (Home work)
TEACHER EVALUATION OF THE LESSON:

TUTOR’S COMMENTS:
Task 1: Discuss the characteristics of both an empty and universal set.

Time for activity: 10 minutes

Instructions: Read the following information on the empty and universal set and extract the
following points:
- What is an empty or null set?
- What is/are the symbol/s used to represent an empty or null set?
- What are the number of elements contained within an empty set?
- What is a universal set?
- What is/are the symbol/s used to represent the universal set?

The Null set or Empty set

There are some sets that do not


contain any element at all. For
example, the set of months with 32
days. We call a set with no elements
the null or empty set. It is
represented by the symbol { } or Ø .

Some other example of null sets are:

The set of dogs with six legs.


The set of squares with 5 sides.
The set of cars with 20 doors.
The set of integers which are both
even and odd.

Can you come up with


an example of an
empty set and universal
set?
Example: Universal set
If A = {1,2,3},

B = {2,4,5,6} and C = {1,3,5,7}

then the universal set is


U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

or E = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
Task 2: Discuss the characteristics of both a
finite and infinite set.

Time for activity: 10 minutes

Instructions: Read the following information on the finite and infinite set and extract the following
points:
- What is a finite set?
- What is an infinite set?
Can you state some examples of your own for finite and infinite sets?
Task 3: Discuss the characteristics of both equal and equivalent set.

Time for activity: 10 minutes

Instructions: Read the following information on the equal and equivalent set and extract the
following points:
- What is an equal set?
- What is an equivalent set?

- If
H=

{h,e,a,r,t}and
E = {e,a,r,t,h} are these sets equal?
- Is H =E?

- Why or why
not?

- If
P = {f,u,n}
and
Q=
{d,a,y,s} are
these sets
equivalent?

- Why or why
not?

Task 4: Discuss
and define subsets.

Time for activity: 10 minutes

Instructions: Read the following information on the equal and equivalent set and extract the
following points:

- What symbol is used to represent a subset?
Can you come up with an example of a subset?
