From there the students will create a flowchart, VENN diagram or table.

With the information that they obtained they will then decide in what way the quadrilaterals properties are related. Remember to work with your group to determine the correct properties.Į xplanationHow are a parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, rhombus and square related? How could you use this information in the working world? How can you use a conditional (if-then) statement to show that you know a characteristic has been met by a shape?Į laborationStudents will take the parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, rhombus and square provided to them and measure the side lengths and angles. Launch/Warm-Up/IntroductionHave you ever noticed the same traits that a square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus and trapezoid have? Do you recognize any patterns that can be used to help you identify the quadrilateral?Why do you think they are all classified as quadrilaterals? Write down your answers to these questions.Į ngagementTake the quadrilaterals you have been given and measure the side lengths and angles.Į xplorationTake the information you have obtained from your measurements and create a flow chart, VENN Diagram or a table will list the characteristics of quadrilaterals and that will help you see the relationship between the five quadrilaterals properties. Lesson Outline:Use this guiding information for the E ngagement, E xploration, E xplanation, E laboration, and E valuation steps in your lesson plan.
#CLASSIFYING QUADRILATERALS HOW TO#
How to measure lengthsRecognizing same lengthsUnderstanding that a quadrilateral has four sides Poster Board/Slide ShowQuadrilateral ShapesResources to learn properties (computer/books) Quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square, trapezoid, isosceles trapezoid, right angle (90 degree angle), opposite side, parallel sides, opposite angles, VENN diagram, flowchart, consecutive, diagonal, bisect, congruent. Understanding that there are numerous properties that define a quadrilateral and those properties can be used to determine which quadrilateral is being described.
