Description

Quadrilaterals Classification Chart includes a full-sheet and half-sheets for students to reference as needed when classifying quadrilaterals, trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles and squares.

***PLEASE NOTE: The long-accepted definition of a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with "only one pair" of parallel sides. However, in recent years, there has been controversy in the math world over the definition as it relates to some calculus formulas in higher math. Some textbooks say "only one pair" and some say "at least one pair." FOR THIS REASON, THIS PRODUCT IS BASED ON THE "AT LEAST ONE PAIR" DEFINITION because I do not want to cause confusion in my students who may later go on to higher math courses. We understand the need to adapt this product if you teach the "only one pair" definition. We do have a poster-size anchor chart in our store that I use in my classroom for quick reference in case you ever need it. It is interesting to share this debate with students and let them discuss how the chart would change based on which definition you subscribe to.

I have used this resource multiple years. It is a helpful visual for students to see how quadrilaterals are related and see their attributes.

I used this with my students in their Math Notebook. They were able to use it to classify quadrilaterals. It definitely helped their understanding of the attributes for each quadrilateral.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
