Today I am practising: grouping quadrilaterals by their defining properties
1
Draw a rectangle. Count its sides and vertices.
2
Draw a four-sided shape that is not a rectangle.
3
Draw a five-sided shape. Does it belong in the quadrilateral group?
4
Is a square a quadrilateral? Explain using the side count.
5
Draw an open path with four segments. Explain why it does not belong.
6
Write one rule that includes all closed four-straight-sided shapes.
- Introduce quadrilateral as the broad four-sided family.
- Avoid classifying a shape only by its apparent slant.
- Use distinct colors to count sides and vertices if needed.
