Introductory Message

For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Introduction to 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 accomplish.
Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner is capable and
empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and skills at your own pace
and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process
the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in
the module.

What I Know This part includes an activity that aims to

check what you already know about the
lesson to take. If you get all the answers
correct (100%), you may decide to skip this
module.

What’s In This is a brief drill or review to help you link

the current lesson with the previous one.

What’s New In this portion, the new lesson will be

introduced to you in various ways such as a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an
activity, or a situation.

What is It This section provides a brief discussion of

the lesson. This aims to help you discover
and understand new concepts and skills.

What’s More This comprises activities for independent

practice to solidify your understanding and
skills of the topic. You may check the
answers to the exercises using the Answer
Key at the end of the module.
 What I Have Learned This includes questions or blank
sentences/paragraphs to be filled into
process what you learned from the lesson.

What I Can Do This section provides an activity that will

help you transfer your new knowledge or
skill in real-life situations or concerns.

Assessment This is a task which aims to evaluate your

level of mastery in achieving the learning
competency.

Additional Activities In this portion, another activity will be given

to you to enrich your knowledge or skill of
the lesson learned. This also tends to the
retention of learned concepts.

Answer Key This contains answers to all activities in the

module.

At the end of this module you will also find:

References This is a list of all sources used in developing

The
this module.
following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities included
in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.

If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate
to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain
a deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

 What I Need to Know

This module is designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master Sets. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many ways. The
language recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

This module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Introduction to Sets and Ways on How to Describe

a Set
 Lesson 2 – Kinds of Sets, Notations, and Symbols and How to
Solve for Subsets and Venn Diagram.

Based on the competency, this module is crafted to help the students illustrate
well-defined sets, subsets, universal sets, null set, the cardinality of sets, union, and
the intersection of two sets and difference of two sets (M7NS-Ia-1).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. define and illustrate different sets;
2. enumerate the three ways of describing a set ;
3. identify subsets of a given set;
4. define and describe
a. equivalent sets
b. equal sets
c. empty sets
d. universal sets
e. cardinal of sets.

 Set is one of the most fundamental concepts in Mathematics. The set theory
which was developed in the 19th century is now a common part of Mathematics and
can be used as a foundation from which nearly all Mathematical concepts can be
derived.

What’s In

Before we proceed to our lesson let me ask you these questions.

Activity 1: Identify Me!

Let’s Find Out: Identify the given below.

Let’s Use These Materials: Mathematics notebook and ballpen

Let’s Do It This Way:

a. What comes into your mind when you hear about the following words?
1. library
2. Kpop
3. social media

The above words are examples of a group.

b. Can you think of your examples of a group and its members? The first one
has been done for you. Write the answer in your Mathematics notebook.
Group’s Name Group’s Members
1. Flowers Gumamela, Kalachuci,
Rose, Sampaguita

b. How many belong to the animal group?
c. How many belong to the fruits group?

Congratulations you have grouped them correctly! In

Mathematics, a group can also be called “SET”. "If you
understand the concept of the group then you will also
understand the concept of sets.

Observe closely the following sets:

1. T = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
2. R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}
Do you know that set T is different from set R? Have you noticed that there
are three (3) dots (...) in set R? The three (3) dots (...) also known as ellipsis, which
means that there are still numbers that follow after 5 such as 6, 7, 8, and so on. To
understand more about these kinds of sets, let us proceed to the next lesson.

Did you understand the topic “Notations and Symbols in Sets”? If not, go
back to this topic and read it again because you will need it in the next topic.
If yes, then it’s time to move to our next topic which is “How to Solve for
Subsets and Venn Diagram”.

How to Solve for Subsets?

Given M = {x, y }, write the complete list of subsets.

Note that Set M has two (2) elements. In symbol, n (M) = 2.

The complete list of subsets are { }, { 1 }, { 2 }, { 3 }, { 1, 2 }, { 1, 3 } ,

{ 2, 3 } and { 1, 2, 3 }. There are eight subsets for the given set F = { 1, 2, 3 }.

How to Solve for Subsets?

The subset of a given set can be solved using the formula 2n, where n is
the number of elements in a given set.
