Understanding Quadrilaterals

In this video, Miss Robles explains the concept of quadrilaterals, focusing on their properties and classifications. She covers squares, rhombuses, rectangles, and parallelograms, highlighting their unique characteristics and how they relate to each other. The video also discusses trapezoids and why they are not considered parallelograms. By the end, viewers gain a comprehensive understanding of these geometric shapes and their classifications.
