Week 2 - Set Theory

Monday 10:00 - 10:50

• Introduction to set theory (some slides and class questions).
• Show online interactive Venn tool
• Set theory activity
  • Pair activity: Venn diagram matching game

Tuesday 09:00 - 10:50

• Work on tutorial sheet 1, set theory (1 hour).
• Probability ordering activity
  • Class activity: A list of events are given (e.g. roll a 6 on a die, the sun will shine tomorrow, the sun will set tonight, the sun will fall out of the sky). Ask students to categorise and order them along a scale from “Impossible” - “Unlikely” - “Likely” - “Certain”.
  • Rename scale to “0” - “0.25” - “0.75” - “1”. Ask if we’d like to rearrange some of the events.
  • Discuss meaning of probability. Think about differences between uncertain events such as “roll a 6” and “the sun will shine”, for example.
