Roster Form Set-builder Form
(Listing Elements) (Describing Common Property)

• Elements written inside braces • Uses variable and condition
• Elements separated by commas • Describes characteristics
• Order does not matter • Uses mathematical notation
Example: Example:
A = {2, 4, 6, 8} A = {x : x is an even
natural number and x < 10}

Activity Name: “Represent the Collection”
Instructions:
1. Greet the students in energetic tone. Face expressions should be happy,
enthusiastic and in sync with the voice tone.
2. Teacher Action:
Teacher writes the following collections on the board:
1. Vowels in English alphabet
2. Even numbers less than 10
3. Days in a week
4. Prime numbers less than 15
Teacher asks students:
• Can these collections be written in different ways?
• Can we list all the elements?
• Can we describe the collection using a rule?
Student Task:
Students work in pairs and try to represent one collection by:
a) Listing the elements
b) Describing the common property
Expected Response:
Vowels → {a, e, i, o, u}
Even numbers less than 10 → {2, 4, 6, 8}
Teacher introduces:
Method 1 → Roster Form (listing elements)
Method 2 → Set-builder Form (describing the property)
Teacher says:
“Today we will learn how sets can be represented in different forms to make
mathematical expressions simpler and more meaningful.”

So, let’s watch a small and interesting video.

Let’s Begin: 18 min
Materials Required:
--------------------------------NIL------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Recall Previous Learning (2 Minutes)
Teacher asks:
“What is a Set?”
“How do we write elements of a set?”
Students recall:
A Set is a well-defined collection of objects.
Teacher explains:
After understanding what a set is, we now learn different ways to represent
sets.
Step 2: Representation of Sets (4 Minutes)
Teacher explains:
Sets can be represented mainly in two forms:
1. Roster Form (Tabular Form)
2. Set-builder Form (Rule Method)
These methods help organize and express sets clearly.
Step 3: Roster Form (5 Minutes)
Teacher explains:
In Roster Form, all elements of a set are written inside braces { } and
separated by commas.
Rules:
• Elements are written inside braces.
• Elements are separated using commas.
• Repetition of elements is avoided.
• Order of writing does not change the set.
Examples:
A = {2, 4, 6, 8}
B = {a, e, i, o, u}
Teacher demonstrates:
Set of days in a week:
D = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}
Step 4: Set-builder Form (5 Minutes)
Teacher explains:
In Set-builder Form, sets are written by describing a common property shared
by all elements.
General Form:
A = {x : property of x}
Teacher explains:
The symbol x represents the elements and the statement after the colon
describes the condition.
Examples:
A = {x : x is an even natural number less than 10}
B = {x : x is a vowel in English alphabet}
Teacher demonstrates conversion:
Roster Form:
{1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Set-builder Form:
{x : x is an odd natural number less than 10}
Step 5: Guided Practice and Discussion (2 Minutes)
Students complete:
1. Write the set of vowels in roster form.
2. Convert {2, 4, 6, 8} into set-builder form.
3. Write prime numbers less than 10 in roster form.
Teacher reviews responses and summarizes:
Sets can be represented either by listing elements (Roster Form) or by
describing a rule (Set-builder Form).
Closure: 7min
Teacher will discuss Example 1 and 3 given in NCERT book.
Home Work:
1. Write the following sets in Roster Form:
a) A = {x : x is a natural number less than 8}
b) B = {x : x is a vowel in English alphabet}
2. Write the following sets in Set-builder Form:
a) {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
b) {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
3. List all the elements of the following sets:
a) C = {x : x is a month of a year having 30 days}
b) D = {x : x is a prime number less than 15}
4. Convert the following:
a) Roster Form → Set-builder Form
{5, 10, 15, 20}
b) Set-builder Form → Roster Form
{x : x is an odd natural number less than 10}
Learning Outcome:
After the completion of the lesson, students will be able to:
• Explain different methods of representing sets.
• Represent sets correctly using Roster Form and Set-builder Form.
• Convert sets from Roster Form to Set-builder Form and vice versa.
• Identify the common property used to describe elements in a set.
• Write mathematical sets using correct symbols and notation.
• Apply set representation methods to simple examples and real-life situations.
Real life Connect:
Students understand that sets can be represented in different ways to organize and
describe information clearly in everyday life.
Examples:
• Creating a contact list by writing names directly (Roster Form) or describing
the group as “all contacts from Class XI” (Set-builder Form).
• Organizing books in a library by listing book names or grouping them based
on subject.
• Preparing a shopping list by listing required items or describing them as “all
grocery items needed for a week”.
• Creating playlists by listing songs or defining them as songs of a particular
category.
• Arranging students into groups by listing names or describing the group using
a common characteristic.
Students discuss and identify situations where information is represented either by
listing items or by describing a common rule.
