About Sets Part 1:
A set is a collection of things in which the order is not important. We enclose the items or elements of a set with curly braces: “{}”. We name sets with capital letters such as A, B, or K. We can say set A is the set of whole numbers that are even and less than 12: A = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10}.
Test Objectives
- Demonstrate the ability to list the elements of a set using the roster method
- Demonstrate the ability to determine if one set is a subset of another
- Demonstrate the ability to determine if a particular element belongs to a given set
