MiraCosta College MyOpenMath Assessment 1 of 13: Sets and Coins

This homework assignment, part of a MyOpenMath assessment, explores fundamental concepts in set theory. The assignment utilizes A-blocks and a collection of coins as manipulatives to illustrate set operations such as finding subsets, unions, intersections, and determining cardinality. Students are tasked with sorting coins into different sets based on various criteria (year, denomination) and then applying set notation to represent these groupings and compute set operations. The assignment also includes true/false questions on set membership and subset relationships, along with problems involving the union and intersection of sets. The problems are designed to reinforce understanding of basic set theory principles through practical examples and notation.
