Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of quadrilaterals. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check...

This multimedia that includes a short video [1:19] and other interactive activities on Learn Alberta math resource looks at real-world examples of shape classification in the investigation and solving of crimes. The accompanying...

The learning activity asks students to identify quadrilaterals by characteristics rather than appearance. Learners drag the vertices of the shape to reveal the true shape of the quadrilateral. [Requires Java.]

The tutorial examines the different properties of quadrilaterals. The table consists of picture of the shape and a list of the shape's properties.

The goal of this task is to study if the analog of the AA criterion for similarity of triangles holds for different types of quadrilaterals. Aligns with HSG-SRT.A.2.

Students will create a variety of quadrilaterals using the GEOBOARD APP and identify critical attributes.

Identify quadrilaterals based on pictures or attributes. Quadrilaterals included are parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles, and squares. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

There is exactly one reflection and no rotation that sends the convex quadrilateral ABCD onto itself. What shape(s) could quadrilateral ABCD be? Explain. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

Suppose ABCD is a quadrilateral for which there is exactly one rotation, through an angle larger than 0 degrees and less than 360 degrees, which maps it to itself. Further, no reflections map ABCD to itself. What shape is ABCD? Aligns...

This task provides young scholars a chance to experiment with reflections of the plane and their impact on specific types of quadrilaterals. Aligns with 4.G.A.3.

This interactive lesson investigates quadrilaterals and provides students with an opportunity to practice describing their attributes.

In this task, students are asked to draw a quadrilateral so that no two sides are congruent, no two angles are congruent, and no two sides are parallel. The task gives students the opportunity to prove that if we join the midpoints of a...

The purpose of this task is to use the Pythagorean Theorem and knowledge about quadrilaterals in order to construct squares of different sizes on a coordinate grid. Aligns with G-GPE.B.7.

In this task, students ultimately use the definitions they are given for three types of quadrilaterals and what they know about parallel sides to identify that a square fits all the definitions and explain why. Aligns with 4.G.A.2.

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

Investigate the properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons using this interactive Learn Alberta math resource. Students are able to practice classifying shapes based on their different properties. Be sure to follow the...

Students can use the interactive geoboard to create different types of quadrilaterals and investigate the properties of quadrilaterals. Requires Java. The geoboard can also be downloaded for offline use.

In this activity, students create geometric figures, and use analytic and coordinate geometry to investigate their attributes. They go through the process of proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

This task applies reflections to a regular octagon to construct a pattern of four octagons enclosing a quadrilateral. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce that the quadrilateral is actually a square....

In this task, students must draw a diagram from a verbal description and use their understanding of similar triangles to find the area of a quadrilateral. Aligns with G-SRT.B.5.

For this task, 8th graders are shown a picture of a quadrilateral on a coordinate grid and are asked to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find lengths and to explain why the quadrilateral is a rectangle. Aligns with 8.G.B.

In the pictured quadrilateral, opposite sides are congruent and students must explain whether this makes it a parallelogram. Aligns with G-CO.C.11.

For this activity, 2nd graders will identify shapes found around the room by recognizing their attributes such as number of angles, vertexes, and faces.

In this activity on 2D shapes, 3rd graders will learn to discriminate quadrilaterals from other polygons. Additionally, they will be able to identify attributes of a square, rectangle, and rhombus.
