This The Language of Sets and Set Notation lesson plan also includes:
- Informational Text
- Worksheet
- Answer Key
- Join to access all included materials
The basics of number theory and set notation are explained in a highly approachable way in a self-contained instructional activity and worksheet. Introducing the vocabulary and concepts from ground zero and building to more complex ideas of subsets and complements, this would make a great stand-alone day between units or addition to a file of substitute plans.

Instructional Ideas
- Great for absent or homebound pupils, with thoroughly written out explanations and examples
- Could be the intro lesson for class projects on number theory and data collection
Classroom Considerations
- Densely worded introduction might require lower reading level help or ELL supports
- Overall dense material might need some livening or breaking up by the instructor, particularly for less self-motivated groups or students
Pros
- Clear explanations begin with basic vocabulary, assuming no prior exposure to material
- Gradually building exercises follow the written explanations closely, making it easy to refer back to the examples
- Lots of examples of what is and (sometimes more importantly) what is not a valid reason or inclusion
Cons
- Language assumes learners are "students at your college" in the introduction
- Only odd problem solutions are given
