LESSON PLAN
SUBJECT: Mathematics

GRADE: 10

DATE: September

WEEKS: 1–2

TOPIC OF LESSON: Sets

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of the unit, the students should

1. analyze and solve problems which arise in familiar mathematical and non-
mathematical situations.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. identify regions in a Venn Diagram.
2. solve problems based on the intersection of three sets.

CONTENT

Intersection
The intersection of sets A and B is the set which contains all the elements that belong to
both A and B. Symbolically “A intersection B” is written A  B .

Union
The union of sets X and Y is the set which contains all the elements that belong to X and
Y. “X union Y” is written as X  Y .

Complement
The complement of set A is the set of elements in the universal set which are not in set A.
The complement of set A is written as A1.

PROCEDURE

1. Review previous knowledge concepts – universal sets, subsets and the number
of elements in a set.

2. Presents interactive charts to the students.

3. Discuss concepts of union, intersection and complement

4. Leads students to identify the different regions in the Venn Diagram.

5. Observe question on the white/chalkboard.

6. Discuss steps taken in solving the question

i. Draw a Venn diagram
ii. Fill in the given information in the appropriate regions.
iii. Use x for the unknown region.
iv. Form an equation involving x to find for the unknown region.

7. Answer question on the chalk/whiteboard.

8. Discussion on students’ performance.

ACTIVITIES

1. Given X = {2,4,6,8,10}, Y={2,3,5,7} and Z={1,2,5,6,10} and X  Y  Z  U .

Find the following:

(i) X Y
(ii) X Y
(iii) X Z
(iv) X Z
(v) Y Z
(vi) Y Z
(vii) n( X  Y  Z )
(viii) X Y  Z
(ix) X Y  Z
(x) Y1
(xi) Z1
(xii) X1

2. In a class of 40 students 24 can play cricket, 20 can swim and 4 can do neither.
Let x represent the number of students who can play cricket and who can swim.

(i) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the above data.

(ii) Write algebraic expression for students who can play cricket only,
swim only.
(iii) Write an algebraic equation involving x for the above data.
(iv) Hence solve the equation to find how many students can play cricket
and swim.

LESSON PLAN
SUBJECT: Mathematics

GRADE: 10

DATE: September

WEEKS: 3-4

TOPIC OF LESSON: Sets

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of the unit, the students should

2. analyze and solve problems which arise in familiar mathematical and non-familiar
mathematical situations.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
3. identify the shaded regions in a Venn diagrams.
4. draw Venn diagrams to illustrate given information.
5. use Venn diagrams to solve problems based on the intersection of sets.

CONTENT
Algebraic expression – an expression containing a variable and a constant.
A only means the region that contain members that in A but not in B.
It is the same as A  B1

Equation – an equation involving x is a simple equation. All all the regions and equate
with the universal set.

PROCEDURE

9. Review previous knowledge concepts – union, complement and intersection.

10. Observe question on the chalk/white board
In a class of 125 students, 53 do Agriculture, 68 do Mathematics and 25 do
neither subject.
Let x represent the number who do both subjects
(I). Draw a labelled Venn diagram to illustrate the above data.
(II). Form a suitable equation involving x and solve it to find the number of
students who did both subjects.
(III). How many students did Agriculture only
11. Lead to
(I). Draw a suitable Venn diagram
(II). Form an equation
How many students do Agriculture only? 53 –x
How many students do Mathematics only? 68 – x
Add all regions and equate with universal set.

53-x + x + 68 – x + 25 = 125
12. Solve equation to find how many students did both subjects
144 – x = 125
x = 133 –125
x = 19
13. Use the value of x in the expressions
53- x and 68-x to find how many students do Agriculture only and
Mathematics only.
14. Solve problems on chalk/white board. Discuss students’ responses – common
errors, incorrect labelling etc.

ACTIVITIES
1. If R = {4,5,6,7}
Q = {6,7,8,9}
P = {1,2,3,4,5}
Then
(I). P  Q  R
(II). ( P  Q  R )1

2. In a group of 21 students 17 liked Mathematics, 13 liked English while

3 did not like either
Let x represent the number of students who liked both Maths and
English
(i) Draw a labelled Venn diagram from the above data.
(ii) Write algebraic expressions for those students who liked
Mathematics only; English only.
(iii)Write an equation involving x for the above information.
(iv) Hence find how many students liked both subjects.

3. U = {1,2,3,4 ……13,14,15}
A = {Factors of 12}
B= {Multiples of 3}
(I). List the elements of sets A and B
(II). Copy and complete the Venn diagram
