Classify Quadrilaterals

Discover the wonderful world of four-sided shapes!

What Are Quadrilaterals?

Quadrilaterals are shapes with four sides and four angles.
Just like detectives classify clues, we can classify quadrilaterals based on their special properties. Some have equal sides, some have right angles, and some have parallel sides. Let's explore!

How to Classify Quadrilaterals

1️⃣ Count the sides - All quadrilaterals have exactly 4 sides

2️⃣ Check the angles - Are they right angles (like a square corner)?

3️⃣ Look for parallel sides - Parallel sides never meet, like train tracks

Square

Parent Tips 🌟

  • Shape scavenger hunt: Look for quadrilaterals around your home - doors (rectangles), floor tiles (squares), and more!
  • Play dough shapes: Create different quadrilaterals with play dough and discuss their properties together.
  • Real-world connections: Point out how different quadrilaterals are used in buildings, signs, and packaging.
