 Introductory Message

For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Subsets of Real Numbers

The hand is one of the most symbolized part 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 is 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

sentence/paragraph to be filled in to process
what you learned from the lesson.
 What I Can Do This section provides an activity which will
help you transfer your new knowledge or skill
into 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 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 d
developing this module.

The 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.

 What I Need to Know

This module is designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the concepts of real numbers.The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged in the
standard sequence of the course, but the order may be different from the
textbook that you are using.
This is a lesson on Subsets of Real Numbers.
After going through this module, you are expected to illustrate the
different subsets of real numbers (M7NS-Ih-1). Specifically, you will:

1. identify the different subsets of real numbers;

2. illustrate the different subsets of real numbers;
3. relate subsets of real numbers in real-life situations.

 Subsets of Real Numbers

Mathematical knowledge should consist of a deep understanding of the

number system: the system of real numbers. We will study how each subset in
the mathematical system is dealt with. Let us take a look at the basic subsets
as they successively develop into the bigger set which is the set of real
numbers.

What’s In

Activity 1: Let’s Recall

Let’s Find Out: Do you still remember these?
Let’s Use These Materials: Mathematics notebook and ballpen
Let’s Do It This Way: Write the set by listing method on the blank provided.

1. Let A be the set of all natural numbers less than 7.

By listing the element: _____________
2. Let B be the set of all natural numbers greater than 7 but less than 15.
By listing the element: _____________
3. Let C be the set containing only 7.
By listing the element: _____________
4. Let D be the set of all whole numbers less than 10.
By listing the element: _____________
5. Let E be the set of all whole numbers greater than 10 but less than 20.
By listing the element: _____________

 What’s New

Let’s take a look at this family picture. It is said that “A family that connects
to one another, lasts forever.” This is just like the subsets of real numbers. Let
us read the acrostic:
The Real Numbers Family

F – Form a strong bond with all your rational and irrational members

A – Always remember integers and fractions may be in different places

M – Make whole fun and memorable moments

I – Ignore the negative differences

L – Love and count them while you can, life can be short

Y – You can’t be the zero, keep them together for happy ending

From the acrostic above, the underlined words such as rational,

irrational, integers, fractions, whole, negative, count and zero are the subsets
of real numbers which is our lesson for today.
