LESSON NOTES TERM 1 2020

TOPIC I:SET CONCEPTS

SUB TOPIC:REVISION OF SETS
CONTENT:Definition
A set is a collection of well defined objects.
An element is an object or a thing which belongs to a set.

Naming sets
- A set of tomatoes
- A set of bags
- A set of oranges

Counting members in a set

Examples
B

p q rSet B has 5 members therefore n(B) = 5 members

t sn(B) = 5 members

X= r, s, tset X has 3 members

Therefore n(x) = 3 members.
.
ACTIVITY:Exercise on page 1 Nos. 1 – 8 (MK MTC bk 4)

Remarks.

LESSON 2:CONTENT: Equivalent and non- equivalent sets.

Equivalent sets are sets with the same number of members but
they are not the same
RAPHELA JUNIOR SCHOOL.LESSON NOTES Page 1
 Symbol

Example.
M = (1, 2, 3, 4)N= (a, e,i, o)
Set M is equivalent to set N
Or M N
Note:Equivalent sets are also called matching sets.

Non – Equivalent sets

These are sets which do not have the same number of members.

Symbol

Example
P = a, b, cQ = p, q, u, s
Set P and Q are non – equivalent, non matching sets.

Activity:Exercise 1 (MK New edition) page 6.

CONTENT:EQUAL SETS AND EQUIVALENT SETS

Equal sets:
Equal sets are sets which have the same number of elements
which are exactly the same.

Examples:

I o u e i

Symbol =

RAPHELA JUNIOR SCHOOL.LESSON NOTES Page 1

 Set D and E are equal sets

Equivalent sets.
Equivalent sets are sets with the same number of members but
they are not the same.

Examples:
Set A = (a, b, c, d)B = (1, 2, 3, 4)
Set A and B are equivalent sets.

Symbol

ACTIVITY: Exercise 1G page 8 (MK New Edition)

CONTENT:EMPTY SETS
Empty sets are sets which do not have members or a set whose

members cannot be found.

Symbol or { }
Examples
(a)RS

1 5 7

Set R is an empty set.

(b) A set of goats with 5 legs each is an empty set.

ACTIVITY:Exercise 1b and 1 C page 2 (Mk New edition)

Remarks.

CONTENT:Even and Odd sets.

Even sets are sets whose members can all be paired
RAPHELA JUNIOR SCHOOL.LESSON NOTES Page 1
 Example:
P Set P has 4 members.
Members of set P have all been paired, therefore it is an even
sets.

Note: An empty set is an even set.

Odd sets
Odd sets are sets whose members can not all be paired.

Example:

Not all members of set U have been paired.

Therefore it is an odd set.

ACTIVITY: Exercise 1(d) and 1 (e) page 3 and 4 (New Edition of

MK)

Remarks:
SUBTOPIC : INTERSECTION OF SETS.
CONTENT: Symbol for intersection
RAPHELA JUNIOR SCHOOL.LESSON NOTES Page 1
Intersection sets have common members of two sets

Examples:
P = (a, b, c, d, e) q = (a, e, i, o ,u)

Find (i) P Q. = (a, e)

n (P Q) = 2 element
Note: Sets without common members are non – intersecting sets.
Examples
W = (1, 2, 3, 4) N = (a, b, c)
Set W and N are non – intersecting sets.

Drawing venn diagrams and shading the intersection.

Example:-
- Shading the intersection set.
AB

A B is shaded

2.Set D = p, q, r, s, t
Set E = f, g, r, p
D E = p, r

Number of elements in the intersection

Examples:
Set S = ( g, o, a, t ) T = ( r, o, t)
S T = (o, t) Therefore; number of elements in the intersection set
are 2.
n(ST) = 2 elements

CONTENT: In this case, we simply add the number of zero to the
number.
Examples:
(i)6 x 10 = 60
(ii)7 x 100 = 700
(iii) 8 x 1000 = 8000
(iv) 38 x 100 = 3800

SUBTOPIC: Multiplying by multiples of 10

CONTENT:
Example 1.Example (ii)
(i)What is 7 x 30? What is 50 x 30?
7 x 30 = ?50 x 30 = 5 x 10 x 3 x 10
30 = 3 x 10 = 5 x 3 x 10 x 10
So 7 x 30 = 7 x 3 x 10 = 15 x 100
= 21 x 10 = 1500
= 210

ACTIVITY: Exercise 4(o) page 70 New MK book 4

SUB TOPIC: Dividing by multiples of 10

CONTENT: We divide by cancelling
Examples:

SUB TOPIC : LISTING FACTORS.

CONTENT: Definition
Factors are given pairs of numbers you multiply together to get a
multiple/product.

Example
1. Which two numbers do we multiply to get 12?
Note: 1 is the first factor of every number and it’s a factor of
itself.
F12 = 1 x 12 = 12
2 x 6 = 12
3 x 4 = 12

RAPHELA JUNIOR SCHOOL.LESSON NOTES Page 1

 F12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

2. List down all the factors of 16

F16 = 1 x 6 = 16
2 x 8 = 16
4 x 4 = 16
F16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
