🌟 Quadrilateral Quest 🌟

Hi my super Grade 6 explorers! 👋

Today we’re going on a Quadrilateral Quest! Quadrilaterals are shapes with exactly 4 sides. There are many different types, and we can classify them by their sides, angles, and parallel lines. Let’s become shape experts together! 🔎

⬜ 🔷

1. Meet the Quadrilateral Family

⬛

Square

4 equal sides
4 right angles (90°)

⬛

Rectangle

Opposite sides equal
4 right angles

⬟

Rhombus

4 equal sides
Opposite angles equal

⬚

Parallelogram

Opposite sides parallel and equal

⬚

Trapezoid

Exactly 1 pair of parallel sides

⬟

Kite

2 pairs of adjacent equal sides

2. Important Properties

✅ Parallel sides: lines that never meet
✅ Right angles: 90° corners (like a book corner)
✅ Equal sides: sides with same length
✅ All quadrilaterals have interior angles that add up to 360°

3. Let’s Practice Together! 🎉

Question 1

I have 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. What am I?

Square! ⭐

Question 2

I have opposite sides parallel and equal, but not all angles are 90°. What am I?

Parallelogram ⭐

Question 3

Which quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides?

Trapezoid ⭐

Challenge

True or False: Every square is also a rectangle and a rhombus.

True!
A square has all the properties of both rectangle and rhombus.

4. Quadrilaterals in Real Life 🇨🇦

• Floor tiles and windows (rectangles & squares)
• Road signs (stop sign is an octagon, but many are rectangles)
• Hockey rink and soccer fields
• Kites you fly in the park!
• Many bridge supports and building shapes

You are now a Quadrilateral Expert! 🌟

Wonderful work! You can now look at any 4-sided shape and name exactly what it is.

Keep noticing shapes all around you — they’re everywhere!

Love and proud high-fives,
Mrs. Brenda ❤️
