Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Define Quadrilaterals By Similarities. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
A square is also a rectangle.
Irregular quadrilaterals may not fit any of the subcategories of quadrilaterals.
Explicitly relate and combine classifications (4 sides with 2 sets of parallel lines)
Quadrilaterals are four sided figures with 4 vertices.
A rectangle is a four sided shape where every angle is a right angle (90 degrees) and opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.
A rhombus is a four sided shape where all sides have equal length, opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.
A square has equal sides, opposite sides are parallel and every angle is a right angle.
A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel, opposite sides equal in length, and opposite angles are equal.
A trapezoid has a pair of sides parallel.
Squares, rectangles and rhombuses are all parallelograms.
Analyze shapes for their properties (Number of sides, types of angles, parallel sides, perpendicular sides).
Compare 2-D shapes by their properties.
Draw quadrilaterals that do not meet any of the subcategories.
