GRADE 11 MATH LAB ACTIVITIES

Activity 1

SETS

OBJECTIVE

To find the number of subsets of a given set and verify that if a set has nnumber of
elements, then the total number of subsets is 2n.

MATERIALREQUIRED

Compass, pencil, eraser , different coloured pencils

Procedure:

A0 has no element. The possible subsets of A0 is A0 itself only, represented

symbolically by φ. The number of subsets of A0 is 1

A1 has one element a1 . The subsets of A1 are φ, {a1}. The number of subsets of
A1 is 2
A2 has two elements a1 and a2. The subsets of A2 are φ, {a1}, {a2},
{a1, a2}. The number of subsets of A2 is 4

A3 has three elements a1, a2 and a3 The subsets of A3 are φ, {a1}, {a2}, {a3),
{a1, a2}, {a2, a3) ,{a3, a1}and {a1, a2, a3}. The number of subsets of A3 is 8
LEARNING OUTCOME

If a set has n number of elements, then the total number of subsets is 2n

ACTIVITY 4: TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

OBJECTIVE

To verify the relation between the degree measure and the radian measure of an
angle.

MATERIALREQUIRED

Bangle, geometry box, protractor, thread, marker

PROCEDURE:

The radius of the circle be r and l be an arc subtending an angle θ at the centre C

Using thread, measure arc lengths RP, PS, RQ, QS and record them
Using protractor, measure the angle in degrees
OBSERVATION:

The value of one radian is equal to ________ degrees.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
