Empty Sets – When to Use Curly Brackets

Are you teaching sets? Some of the stuff that you talk about in set theory is pretty clear – you have a basket { } and you put stuff in it {♥, ✂, ☎, ✿}. No problem.

But what’s the deal with the basket with no stuff in it?

That’s the empty set. It’s written like Ø or simply as the “basket” like this: { }.

But kids might be tempted to write {Ø} – and then they get it wrong. BUT WHY?

The empty set is an object!

Suppose you have four empty sets. Do you have nothing? Nope – you have four containers. Just check your cabinets – I’m guessing you have a handful of empty sets in there with the Rubbermaid® or Tupperware® logo on them.

And {Ø} is an object inside a set.

Supposed you put one inside the other, like this:

This is an empty set contained in an empty set: {Ø} So the bigger empty set isn't really empty!

This is the same as {Ø}. Would you be willing to put leftovers inside the bigger one while the smaller one is there? It would be something like this:

If Ø is the same as {Ø} then you shouldn't be grossed out about doing this with your leftovers.

Instead, wouldn’t you be more likely to remove one empty set from the other and have just Ø and Ø (no curly brackets) like this:

These are two empty sets: Ø and Ø

What do you think? Does this help you understand the empty set? Will it help you teach it?
