Quadrilaterals, by definition, are figures with four sides. This means that any shape that has four sides is a quadrilateral. However, some quadrilaterals have special names to describe their unique set of attributes.

See the fact file below for more information on the quadrilaterals or alternatively, you can download our 27-page Geometry: Quadrilaterals CCSS 3.G.1 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will identify quadrilaterals, analyze what kind of quadrilateral is presented to them, and classify quadrilaterals.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When teaching Quadrilaterals, take note of the following:
    • Quadrilaterals are any four-sided figure.
    • Some quadrilaterals may belong to more than one category.
    • Make sure the students clearly understand the distinctions of each shape.

THEORY:

  • Quadrilaterals, by definition, are figures with four sides. This means that any shape that has four sides is a quadrilateral. However, some quadrilaterals have special names to describe their unique set of attributes.
  • The rectangle is something we probably all recognize. It has four sides, two pairs of parallel sides, and is characterized by the four right (90 degree) angles inside of it.
  • The square is also one of the most well-known shapes. Like all the other quadrilaterals, it has four sides as well. The square is unique because all of its sides are equal in measure. The angles inside of it are all right angles as well. All squares are actually also rectangles! In fact, you can think of squares just as rectangles with equal sides.
  • The parallelogram has four sides and two pairs of parallel sides, just like the rectangle and square. However, the angles inside a parallelogram do not have to be all right angles.
  • The rhombus has four sides, two pairs of parallel sides and the measures of its sides are all equal. The angles inside a rhombus do not all have to be right angles. In fact, the square is actually also considered to be a rhombus.
  • We notice that some shapes belong to multiple categories. For example, the square can be considered a square, a rectangle, a parallelogram, and a rhombus! This is because it fits all the descriptors that define all of these shapes.
  • All rectangles can also be considered parallelograms. However, are all parallelograms rectangles? The answer is no. A rectangle must have two parallel sides, and its angles inside must all be right angles. All parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides, but not all parallelograms have right angles.
