Abstract
The use of the set concept promises clarification, simplification, and unification in our teaching of mathematics.1 Many points in our presentation of mathmatics can be brought into better focus through the use of sets, i.e., fundamental laws of algebra, arithmetic operations, definitions such as solutions of equations and inequalities, variables, functions and inverse functions, congruence, line segments and curves, and the notion of classification. By means of sets we can more effectively distinguish between angle (a set of points) and measure of an angle (a number) and among various geometric configurations. Simplification in teaching many mathematical ideas is achieved by building on the youngsters' intuitive notion of set, which has been or can be developed through physical and visual exposure to sets.2
