The discussion centers on finding a book rich in Set Theory word problems with solutions, particularly suitable for high school and middle school students. Participants suggest searching on platforms like eBay and Amazon for resources, but emphasize the challenge of locating materials that focus specifically on word problems rather than introductory textbooks. One contributor notes the inherent contradiction between Set Theory and word problems, highlighting that traditional Set Theory often involves formulas rather than narrative problems. A specific resource link is provided, indicating a preference for accessible materials for younger students.
PREREQUISITESEducators, students, and parents seeking comprehensive resources for teaching and learning Set Theory through practical word problems, particularly aimed at middle and high school levels.

I am not sure I have recommendation, but since this thread is already going, I wanted to say that "set theory" and "word problems" are somewhat a contradiction in terms, especially in the context of university math. Even naive set theory (and especially axiomatic set theory) is usually concerned with formulas, such as "Prove that $\overline{A\setminus B}=\overline{A}\cup B$". Are you talking about word problems with Venn diagrams? Could you give an example of problems you are interested in?LeoSmolka said:I am looking for a book which contains LOTS of Set Theory word problems with solutions.
