ACTIVITY 1 : 

                                  1. Collect different kinds of objects.

2. Put the all objects in a box. 3. Calling 2 or 3 students and telling them to pick up things of same kind.

  ACTIVITY     2: 
                                                                                                                                                                                  

1. Put the prepared number cards in another box.

        2.Call a student and tell him to pick any 10 numbers.
        3.Call  a student and  tell him to collect natural number
        4. Similarly  we can call many students to come and ask them to collect odd, even numbers etc.
DEVELOPING  QUESTIONS:
                               1. Can you call that mixing group of objects by a particular  name?
                              2. Does any number is repeated while collecting numbers?
                              3. What is the difference between before and after grouping the objects?

 QUESTIONS:
                                

                                 1.Can we say that whole group of objects is a set ?
                                 2..Define a set.
                                 3. Give an example for a set.
