Lesson details
Key learning points
- Join four dots on the edge of the circle to create a quadrilateral.
- Use the properties of the quadrilateral to decide if the quadrilaterals are different or the same.
- Work systematically to create all the different possible quadrilaterals.
Keywords
Quadrilateral - A quadrilateral is a polygon with four straight sides and four vertices.
Vertex / vertices - A vertex is the point where two lines meet. The plural is vertices.
Parallel - Parallel lines are straight lines that are always the same distance apart. They never get closer together or further apart.
Common misconception
Pupils find remembering the types and properties of quadrilaterals challenging.
Take time to repeat and revisit the key properties within the lesson and beyond. Consider providing a scaffold for some pupils so they can create quadrilaterals without having to recall the specific properties each time.
