First Quarter – Module 1
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.
What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in
the 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!

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.

Notations and Symbols
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?
{2} {1, 3}
{3} {2, 3}
The subset of a given set can be solved using the formula 2n, where n is
the number of elements in a given set.
3 2n = 2 3 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 8
4 2n = 24= 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 16
5 2n = 25= 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2∗ 2∗ 2 32
