Quadrilaterals Stories

This lesson focuses on quadrilaterals and attributes in order to classify each shape (parallelogram, rhombus, square, rectangle, and trapezoid). Students will review traits, identify shared traits and names of quadrilaterals, by identifying quadrilaterals in a video story. Then they will show their understanding by creating a quadrilateral story that explains traits and shared traits/names between quadrilaterals.This lesson will take approx 2 math sessions (or approx 120 min.)Thumbnail Image Citation: Bouwhuis, Laura.
