Attributes of Quadrilaterals

This week in Math Skills Blocks, students will be learning about attributes of quadrilaterals.

The third grade standards for this skills is as follows:
Students will understand that shapes in different cateogories (ie- having four sides) and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (ie- quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

For extra practice, try this fun Quadrilateral Sort Game!

We completed this activity in class to get familiar with quadrilaterals and their attributes. 
In order to learn about different quadrilaterals, students were taught some other important concepts such as angles, parallel line and the meaning of congruent sides.
Guess My Shape: What quadrilateral has congruent four sides, four right angle two pairs of parallel sides? (Leave a comment with your answer for a treat in class! Offer expires 2/20- Don't forget to add your first name only!)

  1. I think it's a square because it has congruent sides, one pair is parallel , and there are right angles.Manaal

  2. I think it is a square because it has four sides and one right angle on each side
    All of the sides are the same. Ethan
