Classify and describe quadrilaterals using specific properties and attributes.
What students need to be able to do
- Develop definitions for parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and trapezoids through exploration of properties and attributes.
- Identify and describe points, line segments, angles, and vertices in quadrilaterals.
- Identify and describe parallel, intersecting, perpendicular, and congruent sides in quadrilaterals.
- Compare, contrast, and classify quadrilaterals based on parallel sides, perpendicular sides, congruence of sides, and number of right angles.
- Denote properties of quadrilaterals and identify parallel sides, congruent sides, and right angles using geometric markings.
- Use symbolic notation to name line segments and angles in quadrilaterals.
