Introduction to

Numbers, Sets,
and Venn
Diagrams
Welcome to the exciting world of numbers, sets, and Venn
diagrams! We'll be exploring how numbers work together in
groups, how to represent them using sets, and how to visually
understand relationships using Venn diagrams.

Representing Numbers
with Sets
What is a set? Example
A set is a collection of items The set of even numbers
or objects that share a includes 2, 4, 6, 8, and so
common characteristic. on.

Set Notation
Sets are often represented using curly brackets, like {2, 4, 6,
8...} to show the elements within the set.
Defining Sets
Membership Elements Characteristics

Each item or object in a set is Elements of a set are usually listed Sets are defined based on shared
called an element or member of within curly brackets. For example, characteristics. The set of fruits
the set. the set of even numbers less than might include apples, oranges, and
10 could be written as {2, 4, 6, 8}. bananas.
Types of Sets
Type of Set Description

Empty Set or Null Set A set with no elements,


represented by {}.

Finite Set A set with a fixed number of


elements.

Infinite Set A set with an unlimited


number of elements.

Subset A set whose elements are all


members of another set.
Set Operations
Union
Combining all elements from two or more sets.

Intersection
Finding elements common to two or more sets.

Difference
Finding elements that are in one set but not in another.
Venn Diagrams

relationships.
Visualizing Set Relationships
1 Subsets
Venn diagrams show how one set is a subset of another by
placing one circle completely inside the other.

2 Intersection
Venn diagrams show the intersection of two sets by the
overlapping region of the two circles.

3 Disjoint Sets
Venn diagrams show sets with no common elements by
placing the circles without any overlap.

Recap and Key Takeaways
Today we learned about numbers, sets, and Venn diagrams. We explored how numbers work together, how to
represent them using sets, and how to visualize their relationships using Venn diagrams. Remember, these tools are
powerful and can help us understand the world around us in new and exciting ways!
