1. Based on the diagram, what is the total number of students who did participate in volleyball? 15 9 11 6 5 4 12 Warm-Up: Baseball Basketball Volleyball

Set Theory
3
Vocabulary A set The elements Subsets Empty set/Null set Universal set of a set are the objects in a set. is any well defined collection of “objects.” consists of elements from the given set. is the set that contains no elements. is the set of all possible elements. *Make sure you leave a few empty line under each word & definition to provide examples and/or illustrations
4
Ways of Describing Sets List the elements Give a verbal description “A is the set of all integers from 1 to 6, inclusive” Give a mathematical inclusion rule
5
Some Special Sets The Null Set or Empty Set. This is a set with no elements, often symbolized by or {} The Universal Set. This is the set of all elements currently under consideration, and is often symbolized by U
6
Universal Sets The universal set is the set of all things pertinent to a given discussion and is designated by the symbol U Example: U = {all students at Brandeis} Some Subsets: A = {all Computer Technology students} B = {freshmen students} C = {sophomore students}
7
What?!? Find the Subsets What are all the subsets of {3, 4, 5} {} or Ø {3}, {4}, {5} {3,4}, {3,5}, {4,5} {3,4,5}

9
Venn Diagrams Venn diagrams show relationships between sets and their elements Universal Set Sets A & B 1 3 5 8 2 4
10
Venn Diagram Example Set Definition {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} U =
11
Set Complement ~A or A′ “A complement,” or “not A” is the set of all elements not in A. *What the others have that you don’t*
12
Practice: U black purple A red white blue green Types of color Universal set U = What is the complement of set A?
13
More Practice: U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is the universal set and A = {2, 3}. What is A′? U = {a, b} is the universal set and T = {a}. What is T′? U = {+, -, x, ÷, =} is the universal set and A = {÷, =}. What is A′?

15
Venn Diagrams Here is another one A B What is the A′?
16
A moment to Breath
17
The moment is over
18
Combining Sets – Set Union “A union B” is the set of all elements that are in A, or B, or both. This is similar to the logical “or” operator.
19
Combining Sets – Set Intersection “A intersect B” is the set of all elements that are in both A and B. This is similar to the logical “and”
20
Venn Diagrams Venn Diagrams use topological areas to stand for sets. I’ve done this one for you. A B AB
21
Venn Diagrams Try this one! A B AB

Examples
23
Try it on your own! Let P = {b, d, f, g, h}, M = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j}, N = {c, k} P M P M P N N M P N

Try it on your own! Page 218 (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20)
25
Product?!? Given set D and F, find D x F D = {1, 3, 5}, F = {0, 2} Given set R and S, find R x S R = {Bob, Rose, Carlos}, S = {Sheila}
26
Pair in-class-mini-project Please pick a student with whom you KNOW you CAN work and be PRODUCTIVE Assignment: Develop/Create a book explaining all four Vocabulary words from the SET THEORY topic (Complement, Union, Intersection, Product). Use a self-created example for each concept. Your audience - a group of elementary students who learn better when the teacher utilizes images/drawings. Be creative!!! Make sure your work makes sense, you might have to present it!
