Motivation

FAVORITE SUBJECTS
Ana and Jay are talking about their favorite subjects

I like Science, Math and Well for me Math,

English subjects. What Science and MAPEH are my
about you? favorites.

1. If we will combine all their favorite subjects, what are they?

2. Is there a subject that they both like? What is this?
3. Do you have your favorite subjects too?
B. Lesson Proper
1.Teaching / Modeling
Developmental Activity
A B

Answer the following questions;

1. Which of the following shows the combination of set A and set B? How many
elements are there ?

a. b. c.

2. What element/s contain/s in both A and B How many element/s is/are there?

a. b. c.
 Here’s another activity:

a. How will you describe the given diagram?

b. How many sets are there? What are their elements?
c. Is there a common element/animal in both sets?
Union and Intersection of sets may be represented using Venn Diagrams.
These are diagrams that make use of geometric shapes to show relationships
between shapes
Intersection of Sets
.Universal set of Animals:
E = Everything = { Fish, Eels, Platypus, Penguins, Eagles, Bats }
We are going to use a Venn diagram to divide these animals into the following two sets:
“Water Animals” and “Two Legged Animals” .
When we do this, we find that Penguins belong in both groups:
E = Everything = { Fish, Eels, Platypus, Penguins, Eagles, Bats }
Water Animals = { Fish, Eels, Platypus, Penguins }
Two Legged Animals = { Eagles, Bats, Penguins }
This means that on our Venn Diagram, we will need to have two overlapping circles, so that
we can put Penguins inside both circles.
Union of Sets
The union of two sets is everything that is contained within the two circles joined together.
It is the combined total of the two sets, where each item is only listed once.
For our Venn Diagram of Two Legged Animals and Water Animals, we have:
{ Two Legged Animals } Union { Water Animals } =
{ Fish, Eels, Platypus, Penguins, Eagles, Bats }
Union is often written using a big “U” symbol, or the word “OR”

2. Analysis
Guide Questions: (Developmental Activity )
a. Who are the personalities given in Activity 1 in Set A? in Set B?
b. Who is common in both sets? Why?
c. How will you differentiate union and intersection of sets?
d. Can you give your own real-life examples of these sets?
3. Guided Practice
Let U= { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 }
A= { 2 ,4 ,6, 7, 8 }
B= {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}
a. Give A ∪ 𝐵 and A ∩ 𝐵 A B
b. Place the elements of these sets in the 4, 2 3,
proper locations in the given Venn diagram
on the right ( some numbers are already given)
4. Independent Practice
Given: P= { 1,2,3,4,5,6,}, Q= {2,4,6,8 }, and R= {1,3,5}
Find; a. P ∪ Q d. Q ∩ 𝑅
b.P ∪ R e.Illustrate P ∩ 𝑄 using Venn diagram
c. P∩ 𝑅
5. Generalization

UNION AND INTERSECTION OF SETS

 The union of two sets are all the elements from both sets.
Thus, the union of sets A and B, written as A ∪ 𝑩, is the set of
the elements that are members of A,or members of B ,or
members of both A and B.
 The intersection of two sets are those elements that belong to
both sets.
Thus,the intersection of sets A and B , written as A ∩ 𝑩, is a set of
elements that are members of both A and B.
