Sets & Venn Diagrams

PROCEDURAL
MathematicsProbability|Ages 12—14|ID: mt_1YwOCMMwD8

Enumerate sets and their unions and intersections systematically using tables, grids, and Venn diagrams to organise and count outcomes

Mastery Evidence

  • List the elements in the union and intersection of two sets using a Venn diagram
  • Use a two-way table to enumerate all possible outcomes of two combined events
  • Shade regions of a Venn diagram to represent A ∪ B, A ∩ B, and A′ (complement)

Assessment Prompt

“Can [child] use a table or Venn diagram to systematically list all the possible outcomes of two events — like rolling two dice — and use it to count favourable outcomes?”

Represent sample spaces for compound events

Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
