A set is a collection of distinct objects, called elements. Think of a set as a group of things.
Example: The set of colors in a rainbow is {red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet}.
1. The set of even numbers less than 10 is {2, 4, 6, 8}. The number 5 is an element of this set.
2. The set of fruits is {apple, banana, orange}. A carrot is an element of this set.
3. List the elements of the set of days of the week that start with the letter 'T'.
4. Which of the following is a well-defined set?
A collection of beautiful flowers
A collection of tall buildings
A collection of even numbers
A collection of nice people
Venn diagrams use circles to show relationships between sets. Overlapping parts show elements that are in both sets.
Look at the Venn diagram below.
5. List the numbers that are both even AND multiples of 3 from the Venn diagram.
6. The set of all animals that can fly includes fish.
True
False
7. The order of elements in a set does not matter. {1, 2, 3} is the same set as {3, 2, 1}.
True
