Student, BSED 3-6 Teacher, Strategies in Teaching Mathematics
• Objectives
With the use of interactive hypermedia, the Grade 7 students are expected to do
the following with 90% proficiency:
• illustrates the union and intersection of sets and the difference of two sets.
• state the importance of the union and intersection of sets in real life.
• Content and Materials
• Topic: Union and Intersection of Sets

• Materials:
• PowerPoint Presentation

• Method of Teaching: 4A’s
• Procedure
• Activity
The discussion will start by introducing the terms used in the topic through a
game called 4 Pics 1 Word. The teacher will interact with the students by engaging
them in the use of technology. The students will identify what word is being described
by the pictures presented in the game.
• Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions with regards to the activity:
Guide Questions:
• Are you familiar with the words associated in the game?
• In your own words, what is a set?
• In your own words, what is union?
• In your own words, what is intersection?
• Abstraction
The teacher will show the students a problem.

Mrs. Decosta, a Mathematics teacher wants to know who among her students
can do arithmetic and who among her students can solve complex problems.
Set A Set B
Students who can do Arithmetic Students who can solve complex
problems
Marjorie Jeff
Lovely Jonel
Jeff Jake
Jonel Milbert
Jake John Mark
Milbert
Roxette
John Mark
Mickee
Students who can do arithmetic or can solve complex problems are Marjorie,
Lovely, Jeff, Jonel, Jake, Milbert, Roxette, John Mark, and Mickee.
Students who can do arithmetic and can solve complex problems are Jeff,
Jonel, Jake, Milbert, and John Mark.
The teacher will ask the following questions:
• What can you observe in the table?

• What does the statement “Students who can do arithmetic or can solve
complex problems” implies?
• What does the statement “Students who can do arithmetic and can solve
complex problems” implies?
The teacher will start discussing the union and intersection of sets by defining
each term.
Two sets can be added together. The union of A and B, denoted by A B, is the
set of all things that are members of either A or B. For example:
{1, 2, 3} {3, 4, 5} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
The teacher will go back to the problem given earlier and will ask the students
the union of students who can do arithmetic and the students who can solve complex
problems.
A new set can also be constructed by determining which members of two sets
have “in common”. The intersection of set A and B, denoted by A B, is the set of all
things that are members of both A and B. If A B = , then A and B are said to be disjoint.
For example:
{1, 2, 3} {3, 4, 5} = {3}
The teacher will go back to the problem given earlier and will ask the students
the intersection of students who can do arithmetic and the students who can solve
complex problems.
The teacher will present a problem and solve it interactively with the students.
There are 500 students in a school, 200 like science subject, 180 like math and
40 like both science and math.
How many students like Science only?

How many like Math only?
How many like Math or Science?
Let S= students who like science (200)

M= students who like math (180)
P1= students who like math only
P2= students who like math and science
P3= students who like science only
Solution:
n(P1) = n(M)-P2
= 180-40
n(P1) = 140
n(P3) = n(S)-n(P2)
=200-40
n(P3) =160
n(M U S)= n(P1)+ n(P2) + n(P3)

=140 + 40 +160
n(M U S)= 340
Therefore,
160 students like science only
140 students like math only
340 students like science or math.
4. Application
The teacher will let the students answer questions through an interactive media.
The teacher will call the students in random and answer the question by manipulating
the laptop or simply clicking the correct answer.
• {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9}
• {1, 3, 5}
• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}
• {}
• {7, 11, 13} {13, 17, 19}
• {13}
•
• {7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
• {7, 11, 17, 19}
• {1, 2, 3} {5, 10, 15}
• {1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15}

• {1, 2, 3}
• {5, 10, 15}
•
• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}
• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
• {2, 4}
• {2, 4, 6}
After the interactive media presentation, the teacher will divide the class into five
groups. The teacher will provide the same problem for the class and will answer it by
group.
In a school, there are 20 teachers who teach Mathematics or Physics. Of these,

12 teach mathematics and 4 teach both physics and mathematics. How many teach
physics?
• Evaluation
Do the following exercises. Write your answers on the spaces provided:
A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}
C = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Test I. Given the sets above, determine the elements and cardinality of:
a. A U B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}; n (A U B) = 7
b. A U C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}; n (A U C) = 8
c. A U B U C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; n (A U B U C) = 10
d. A B = {0, 2, 4}; n (A B) = 3
e. B C = Ø; n (B C) = 0
f. A B C = Ø; n (A B C) = 0
g. (A B) U C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}; n ((A B) U C) = 8
Test II. Solve the problem and show necessary solution.
• A group of 25 high school students was asked whether they use either
Facebook or Twitter or both. Fifteen of these students use Facebook, and twelve
use Twitter.
a. How many use Facebook only?

b. How many use Twitter only?
c. How many use both social networking sites?
Test III. Write a brief essay about the importance of union and intersection of
sets in everyday life.
• Assignment
Read in advance about the absolute value of a number on a number line.
