Lesson Plan: Set Notation Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use set notation with Venn diagrams and calculate probabilities using Venn diagrams.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- understand and use set notation to describe the complement, union, and intersection of sets as well as the number of elements or probabilities of an event,
- determine the number of elements in
- a set,
- the complement of a set,
- the union of sets,
- the intersection of sets,
- use Venn diagrams to represent sets and calculate probabilities,
- determine if sets are mutually exclusive and/or independent using Venn diagrams.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- simple probabilities, including the complement of an event,
- independent events,
- mutually exclusive events,
- Venn diagrams.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- conditional probability,
- probability formulas, addition formula, and conditional probability formula,
- the difference of two sets.
