Naming Four-Sided Shapes

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.

Part of The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional geometric figures to develop generalizations about their properties
