WHAT IS A SET?
It is an organized collection of
objects with common characteristics.
It is a well-defined collection of
different objects, such as numbers,
people, letters and symbols.
WHAT IS A SET?
The objects contained in the set
are called elements.
A set can be named using capital letters like A, B, C, D,…Z
and we use braces { }
to group the elements of set separated by commas.
If a set contains many elements, we often use three dots, …,
called ellipsis.

WHAT ARE THE THREE
WAYS TO DESCRIBE SETS?
1. Written Expression
2. Listing or Roster Method
3. Set-builder Notation
WRITTEN
EXPRESSION
By definition such as the set of
counting the members of a set.
1. WRITTEN EXPRESSION
Illustrative Example 1:
Describe the elements of each set.
Answer:
Set A: The set of
even numbers from

LISTING OR
ROSTER METHOD
By listing each member of a set
like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …
2. LISTING OR ROSTER METHOD
Illustrative Example 1:
Describe the elements of each set.
Answer:
A = {4, 6, 8,
10,12}
SET-BUILDER
NOTATION
By set-builder notation such as
Primary color = {red, yellow,
blue}
3. SET-BUILDER NOTATION

even number
from 4 to 12}
Illustrative Example 1:
Describe the elements of each set.
Answer:
Set B: The set of
counting numbers
