TOPIC 01

Basic operations on sets

Build understanding of basic operations on sets through definitions, contrasting cases and justified applications.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

|A|=7,\ |B|=6,\ |A\cap B|=2

Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Translate membership into “and”, “or”, or “not”.

Hint 2

Remove the overlap counted twice.

Worked solution

The requested value is 11.

Checks and common pitfalls: Every union member must be counted once.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Apply basic operations on sets with explicit conditions.
And / or: Intersection uses both conditions; union uses at least one.
$A\cap B,\quad A\cup B$
Complement: A complement is relative to a specified universal set.
$U\setminus A$
Close with: conditions → representation → reasoning → check.
