Although mathematics makes extensive use of formal language, teaching mathematics involves using textual descriptions.

The set P of all subsets of the set {1,…,10}, which are disjoint to the set {1,…,5}.


The set P of all subsets of the set {1,…,10}, which are disjoint to the set {1,…,5}.

Identification of bottleneck

Given statements in natural language involving set descriptions or quantifiers students find it difficult to formalize such statements, in particular if there is more than one quantifier involved.

Give specific example here
