Learning objectives: Understand and use the concept of subset, universal set and the
complement of a set.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, student should be able to:
(i) Determine whether a given set is a subset of a specific set and use the symbol  or  .
(ii) Represent subset using Venn diagram.
(iii) List the subsets for a specific set.

Students have already known the concept of the group of object, definition of sets,
element of a set, Venn diagrams, and empty set.

Teaching aids/resources:
The mahjong paper, manila card, glue, white board, slide show, fruits, question sheet and
picture

Attitudes and Values:

Communications with students and teachers, cooperative, being confident and dare to try

Creative and Critical Thinking Skills (CCTS):
