Most set of numbers are parts of other sets of numbers. Venn diagrams (invented
by John Venn, an English mathematician) are used to show relationship between
sets. Venn drew a rectangular region to represent
the universal set U. He used circular regions within the rectangle to represent subsets
of U.

The diagram below shows how counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, and
rational numbers are related.

Reminder!

more sets can be combined to form new sets. Two of these new sets are the union
(sum of sets) and intersection (product) of the sets. These sets are best illustrated
using the Venn diagrams.
Diagram #2 ( yellow green color) Diagram #3 ( green color)

How would you describe the union of two sets? How would you describe the
intersection of two sets.
A union B, written as (AUB), is the set consisting of all elements that are found in A or
in B or in both.
AUB = { x/x € A or x € B }

Using the diagram #4 below, find CUD by listing the elements or members.
C U D =?
Diagram #4

Answer: C U D = {1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10}

Questions to Answer:

1. How are the elements of the union of two or more sets determined?
2. In what real-life situations will this idea of the union of sets make sense?

INTERSECTION (OR PRODUCT) OF SETS: ????

 Given any sets, whether they are sets of insurance policy holders, sets of numbers, or
sets of other objects, it is often useful to ask, “What members, if any, do the sets have
in common?” The set containing elements common to two or more sets is called the
intersection of sets.
Definition: The intersection of A and B, written as A∩B, is the set consisting of all
elements that are found in both sets A and B.
In symbols we write this as A∩B = { x / x € A and x € B }

Referring to diagram 4, find C∩D by listing the members. Answer: { 2,4 }

Study further the examples below.
Given sets: A = { 1, 3, 5 }, B = { 3, 6 } and C = { 2, 4 }.
Find:
a. AUC b. AUB c. A∩B d. A∩C e. (A∩B)UC
Solution:

a. AUC is the set of those elements that are in A, in C or in both sets. { 1, 3, 5

} U { 2, 4 } = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
b. AUB is the set of those elements that are in A, in B or in both sets.
Common elements are listed only once. Thus, { 1, 3, 5 } U { 3, 6 } = { 1, 3,
5, 6 }. So, AUB= { 1, 3, 5, 6 }

c. A∩B is the set of elements common in A and B. The only element common
to both A and B is 3. { 1, 3, 5 } ∩ {3, 6} = { 3 }. So, A∩B = { 3 }. A∩C have
no element in common. So, A∩C = Ø.

d. (A∩B)UC = { 3 }U{2, 4}. So, (A∩B)UC = { 2, 3, 4 }

COMPLEMENT OF THE SET ( OR DIFFERENCE OF TWO SETS)

Look at the diagram below. What are the elements of U? What are the
possible subsets? Is set A a subset of U? What are elements of U that are not elements
of A? These elements comprise the complement of a set. In set-builder notation, AC or
A’ = { x/ x U and x  A }. In the diagram below, AC or A’ = { 1, 2, 5 }

Diagram #5

If U is the universal set, the complement of S with respect to U is written as S c or S’

( read as “S prime“ ) is the set consisting of all elements of U that cannot be found in S.
If U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } and S = { 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 }, what do you think are the
elements of S’ or SC ?

Real Number System
LESSON INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTION(S):
(Initial motivational statements and questions will be given for students to focus on.)

Numbers are everywhere and we can use them anytime, most especially in counting
and simple operations. But have you ever wondered how we arrive with the correct
answer when we operate numbers? What are the rules or properties when we do
operations on real numbers? How do we use these properties get right outcomes?
What do these properties show about real numbers? How can the knowledge of real

numbers help us solve problems in daily life? Let us find the answer in this topic.

Objective:
1. Represent the absolute value of a line as the distance of a number
from 0.
2. Perform fundamental operation on integers.

Understanding Integers and Absolute Value

This lesson focuses on the introduction to integers and the concept of absolute
value using the number line

 Written with a (-) sign

 Value decreases as
numbers move farther from
zero
 Neither negative nor
Zero positive 0
 no (-) or (+) sign.
Think of this
The (+) and (–) are symbols used to indicate addition and subtraction,
but in number line, they indicate the direction of a point from the 0-point,
not as operations to be performed. In the number line, ( +) and (–) are used
as signs of directions. Thus
read +2 “as positive 2” not “plus 2”
read –2 as “negative 2” not “minus 2”

A number line is a line drawn starting from zero and which extends
to both sides without ends. This means that there are infinitely many
numbers on both sides from the origin of the number line.

represent integers
In real life, there are situations where you can represent integers. Study the table
below.

Situation Integers
–
Weight loss of 28 kilograms 28

Increase of Php 500 allowance 500

Situation Integers

Altitude of 1200 ft 1200

–
Spending Php500 500

–
12 steps backward 12
Comparing Integers
You can always compare integers. On the number line, an integer is always
less than to the numbers on its right side and greater than to numbers on its left side.
Ordering Integers

You can also arrange integers either in ascending or descending order. In

ascending order, integers are arranged from least to greatest while in descending
order, integers are arranged from greatest to least. It is easier to arrange integers in
order by plotting them on the number line. Here is an example.
 Example:
Arrange the integers –1, –6, 4, 2, 0, –3 and 5 in descending and ascending
order.

Illustrate!

Ascending order: –6, –3, –1, 0, 2, 4, 5

Descending order: 5, 4, 2, 0, –1, –3, –6

Remember This:
When ordering numbers using the number line:
 In ascending order, numbers are arranged from left to right
 In descending order, numbers are arranged from right to left
Absolute Value
Another important idea to be learned from this module is the absolute value.
Take Note Example Show me

without any regard to The distance from 0 to -5 is 5

its direction, so the

absolute value of any
number is a non-
negative number.
Remember This!
For any number n,
n if n is a positive number
|n| 0 if n is zero
–
n if n is a negative number
 Opposite integers have the same absolute value since they have the same
distance from 0.
 Absolute value of an integer is always positive because there is no
negative distance.
 Absolute value is denoted by ||.
 The absolute value of 0 is 0.

More Examples Numerical Representations

 The absolute value of –17 and 17 |17|=17|−17|=17
is 17 |20|=20|−20|=20
 The absolute value of 20 and –20 |100|=100|−100|=100

 The absolute value of 100 and –100
is 100

Operation on Integers
LESSON INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTION(S):
Have you at a certain time asked yourself why integers exist? Where do we use
them? How can integers help us solve problems in daily life? If they are used a lot, what
kind of operations do we do and what are the steps involved. Find out the answer to
these questions in this module.

LESSON COVERAGE:
In this lesson, you will examine this question when you take the following topics:

Addition of Integers
Subtraction of Integers
Multiplication of Integers
Division of Integers

Setting the Context

Activating Prior Knowledge
Early Monday morning, Ana, a grade 3 pupil, has 24 pesos in her wallet. Upon leaving
for school, her mom gave her 50 pesos for the day’s allowance. She spent 32 pesos
during break time and 12 pesos during lunch. In the afternoon, her friend Amy paid
Ana 25 pesos for the money she owed. On the way home, she spent 8 pesos for the
fare. How much money does Ana have at the end of the day?

Show how you will go about answering this problem.

Study Questions:

1. What is your initial idea on how to solve the problem?

2. What methods did you use?
3. How did the concept of integer help you in solving?
4. Do you think learning integers is important in our daily life? Why?
Lesson
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

RULES:

In ADDING INTEGERS, check the sign of the integers:

Rule 1: If the integers have the same sign, ADD, then COPY the COMMON SIGN.
Rule 2: If the integers have unlike signs, SUBTRACT, then COPY the SIGN of the
LARGER integer.

EXAMPLES
SAME SIGNS UNLIKE SIGNS
( 3 ) + (6) = ( +9) (-3) + ( 5 ) = (+2)
(-3 ) + (-6 ) = ( - 9 ) ( 5) + ( -7) = ( -2 )

*LARGER is used here as a quick way to describe the integer with the greater absolute
value (distance from zero). In each of the examples above, the SECOND integer has a
greater Absolute Value. Note that 3 is the same as +3

SUBTRACTION of INTEGERS:

RULES:

In SUBTRACTING INTEGERS

STEP 1: Change the sign of the subtrahend (the one written after the minus sign).
STEP 2: FOLLOW the RULES of ADDITION

For example: ( -8 ) - (+ 2 )

First copy the problem exactly ( -8 ) + ( +2) =

1. The first number stays the same ( -8 )
2. Change the operation ( -8 ) +
3. Change the sign of the subtrahend ( -8 ) + ( -2 )
4. Follow the rules for addition ( -8 ) + ( -2 ) = - 10

MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF INTEGERS

RULES:
In MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF INTEGERS
RULE 1: If the integers have like signs, then the PRODUCT or QUOTIENT is a positive
integer.
RULE 2: If the integers have unlike signs, then the PRODUCT or QUOTIENT is a
negative integer.

For example:
LIKE SIGNS UNLIKE SIGNS
(8) (9) = 72 (-8) (9) = -72
(-72)÷(-9) = 8 (-72) ÷ (9) = -8

PROPERTIES OF Integers
Introduction
There are properties of integers which determine its operations. These properties
help us solve many equations. To recall, integers are any positive or negative numbers
including zero which can be represented by letter Z.
Z = {…,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,…}
The integer properties will help you simplify and solve a series of integers easily.

An irrational number is a number which cannot be written as a quotient (or

ratio) of two integers.
Here are some examples:

Many square roots are irrational, like

= 1.4142135623730950488016887… (and more)

= 1.7320508075688772935274463415059… (and more)

Lesson 3:
Square Root
LESSON INTRODUCTION

Have you ever wondered if you can apply your knowledge and skills in square
root to real life situations? How can the knowledge of square roots help us solve
problems in daily life? Find out the answers in this lesson.

Lesson
Square Root of a Number
In this lesson we will address these questions and look at some important real-life
application of square roots.

The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when
multiplied by itself. That is . = a, a2 = n

the symbol is √ called radical sign or the square root sign

n is called radicand it is the number inside the radical sign

Example: 12, because 12X12 =144

Irrational Numbers: Square Roots That Are Not Integers

In the previous lesson we saw that a perfect square is a number that has a positive
integer as a square root. Most numbers are not perfect squares. How do we determine
square of numbers that are perfect squares? What kind of numbers do they have for
their roots? How can we use the concept of perfect squares in approximating square
roots of positive rational numbers? How are the square roots of decimal numbers
determined?

Now look at the examples below.

Example 1. What is the square root of 12?

Since 12 is a non-perfect integer, its square root is not a rational number. So, we only
approximate the value. How? By finding two consecutive perfect square integers
between which the given number lies.

Which two consecutive integers will the square root of 12 fall between? 12 is between 9
and 16.
thus

This implies that the square root of 12 is a number greater than 3 but less than 4.
Sharpen your skills in approximating the square root of a non-perfect square numbers
by determining two integers between which the square root of the given number lies.

Subsets of Real Numbers WEEK 8

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.

Objective

1. Illustrates the different subsets of real numbers.

2. Arrange real numbers in incresing or decreasing order on a number line.

Lesson
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.

The diagram shows the real number system and its subsets.

 Arranging Real Numbers on the Number Line
In the previous lessons, you learned a lot about real numbers. For this lesson,
you will learn how to arrange the real numbers on a number line.
“Bahay Kubo”
Arrange the vegetables found inside the box on the
blanks provided based on their order of arrangement in
the traditional folk song “Bahay Kubo.” Write your
answers on your Mathematics notebook. You can sing
the song while doing this activity. Number 1 is done fo ryou.
Lesson
In the “Bahay Kubo” activity, vegetables are arranged based on their
arrangement in the folk song “Bahay Kubo”. Just like that, real numbers are also
arranged in ascending order (i.e, from left to right) or descending order (i.e, from right to
left) in the number line. Recall that on the number line, there is a point for every real
number and a real number for every point.
Numbers found on the left are smaller than the numbers found on the right. So, if
a real number 2 is less than a real number 4, then 2 is found on the left side of 4 (see
figure 1).

Otherwise, a real number 4 is greater than a real number 2, then 4 is found on

the right side of 2 (see figure 2 below).

Hence, in arranging real numbers on the number line, it is important to

remember that a real number with a smaller value is found on the left side of a real
number with a larger value. Furthermore, a real number with a larger value is found at
the right side of a real number with a smaller value.

We also use symbols to efficiently communicate relationships between numbers

on the number line such as:

DESCRIPTION RELATIONAL SYMBOL EXAMPLE

less than ¿ −1<0

b. Estimate the square root of a number

The given radical is √ 2, to estimate its square root:
Step1 : Find the perfect square numbers on either side of the radicand
2.
The radicand 2 is found between the perfect square numbers 1 and
4.
Step2 : Find the square root of the perfect square numbers.
√ 1=1 and √ 4=2
So, the √ 2 is found between 1 and 2. In symbols, 1< √ 2<2.
This means that √ 2 is a decimal number between 1 and 2.
Step3 : Plot the perfect square numbers on the number line.

1 2 3 4

In the figure above,

2 is closer to 1 than 4. Thus,
logically speaking, its square root must be closer to 1 than 2. That means
that √ 2 have to be somewhere between 1.01 and 1.5.

d. Arrange the given real numbers on the number line.

Illustration:

2 11
Since −1<0< √ 2<2 < , then −1 is found on the left side of

Example 3: Arrange the real

numbers found inside the box
on a number line.
Solution:
The given contains the irrational number π that is approximately
equal to 3.14. Then, follow the steps in example 2.

b. Estimate the square root of a number

The given radical is √ 3. To estimate its square root:
Step 1: Find the perfect square numbers on either side of the radicand
3.
The radicand 3 is between the perfect square numbers 1 and 4.
Step 2: Find the square root of the perfect square numbers.
√ 1=1 and √ 4=2
So, the √ 3 is between 1 and 2. In symbols, 1< √ 3<2. This
means that √ 3 is a decimal number found between 1 and 2.
Step 3: Plot the square numbers on the number line.

In the figure above, 3 is

closer to 4 than 1. Thus, logically
speaking, its square root must be closer to 2 than 1. That means that √ 3
have to be somewhere between 1.5 and 1.99.

c. Arrange the given real numbers on the number line.

Illustration:
 5 1 5 1 1
Since −1 < < √3< 2< π , then −1 is found on the left side of ;
6 3 6 3 3
is found on the left side of √ 3; √ 3 is found on the left side of 2; and 2 is
found on the left side of π.

Word Problems
Arranging real numbers on a number line can also be applied in solving word
problems. Example of such is shown below.
Example 4: The Taguran family received rice from different sectors and
1
people. They received 10 kls of rice from their municipality, 5 kls from
2
3 11
their barangay, 7 kls from a private organization and kls from their
4 3
neighbour. Arrange the donors based on their donations in ascending order.

Solution:
Step1 : Convert all the given fractions into decimal. The given fractions are
1 3 11
5 ,7 and . Thus we have,
2 4 3
1 1
5 =5+ =5+ ( 1 ÷ 2 )=5+0.5=5.5 ;
2 2
3 3
7 =7+ =7+ ( 3 ÷ 4 )=7+0.75=7.75 ; and
4 4
11
=11÷ 3=3.666 ≈ 3.67
3

Step2 : Arrange the given numbers 9, 8.5 and 15.5 on a number line.
Illustration:

It
can be
seen in the illustration above that 3.67<5.5<7.75< 10.

Step3 : Make a conclusion. Thus the answer is neighbour, barangay,

municipality and private organization.

In writing numbers in scientific notation, the following steps are to be followed.

STEPS EXAMPLE
Step 1. Move the decimal point to 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
the right of a non-zero digit. Since the first nonzero digit of the
given number is 1, so the decimal
point is moved to the left.
Step 2. Count the number of places 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
you moved the decimal point. 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Since the number of places the

decimal point moved is 11, so the
 exponent of 10 is 11.
Step 3. The number of places the 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
decimal point moved is the 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

exponent is moved to the left, so
the exponent of 10 is negative. And
the answer is 2.5 x107

Writing Scientific Notation To Standard Notation

The following are the rules to follow in writing scientific notation to standard notation.
POSITIVE EXPONENT NEGATIVE EXPONENT
Rule: In writing scientific notation to Rule: In writing scientific notation to
standard form, move the decimal standard form, move the decimal
point to the right for positive point to the left for negative
exponent. exponent.
Example 1: Example 1:

3.128 x 103 = 3128. 3.9 x 10-2 = .039

Since the exponent is positive 3, we Since the exponent is negative 2, we

will move the decimal point three will move the decimal point two
times to the right, so our answer is times to the left, so our answer is
3128. 0.039.
Example 2:
Example 2:
6.4 x 104 = 64 000.
6.12 x 10-5
= .0000612
Since the exponent is positive 4, we
will move the decimal point four Since the exponent is negative 5, we
times to the right, so our answer is will move the decimal point five
64 000. times to the left, so our answer is
0.0000612.
