  1. How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? rhombus square

  2. In this lesson you will learn how to compare and contrast quadrilateralsby listing the attributes they share and those they don’t.

  3. Quadrilaterals with 2 sets of parallel sides: rectangle • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides • 4 right angles • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides parallelogram • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • 4 right angles rhombus • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides square

  4. Quadrilaterals with 1 or less sets of parallel sides: • 1 set of parallel sides isosceles trapezoid trapezoid • 4 sides • 1 set of parallel sides • 1 pair of congruent sides non-specific quadrilateral

  5. Thinking that all quadrilaterals are totally separate from each other. rectangle X A square and a rectangle are totally different. Right? square

  6. Compare and contrast a parallelogram and a rhombus. • A rhombus has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • A parallelogram has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides rhombus parallelogram • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • AT LEAST 2 pairs of congruent sides

  7. How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? • A rhombus has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • A square has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • 4 right angles square rhombus • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 right angles • 4 congruent sides

  8. How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? similar different • A square must have 4 right angles. • They both have all congruent sides (4 equal sides). • They both have 2 sets of parallel sides.

  9. In this lesson you have learned how to compare and contrast quadrilateralsby listing the attributes they share and those they don’t.

  10. What makes a trapezoid different from a parallelogram? different • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides • A parallelogram MUST have 2 pairs of parallel sides, and a trapezoid has only 1. • A parallelogram MUST have 2 pairs of congruent sides, and a trapezoid may or may not have any. parallelogram trapezoid • 1 set of parallel sides • 1 pair of congruent sides (isosceles)

  11. Choose two quadrilaterals for a classmate. Ask him/her to compare and contrast them for you. Have him/her tell you what makes them similar and what makes them different.

  12. Make a list of all the quadrilaterals you know. Sort them into groups based on attributes they share. Be ready to explain why you chose to sort them the way you did.

  13. What attributes are shared between a square and a rectangle? How are a rectangle and a parallelogram similar and different?
