Using Attributes to Recognize Rhombuses Parallelograms Trapezoids Rectangles & Squares

T.I.P.S.

Lightbulb

Students must be able to use attributes of two-dimensional shapes or polygons to recognize a variety of quadrilaterals such as a rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, and square and draw figures that do not belong.

Example

Read the questions below and use your paper if necessary. a) In the set below, which figure(s) are trapezoids?
b) Draw a picture of a quadrilateral that is not a rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, or square.

Supporting Standard

 3.6 Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional geometric figures to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:

(B) use attributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories
