Mrs. Cox's fifth-grade math lesson focuses on Chapter 12, Lesson 4, covering quadrilaterals. The video guides students through identifying congruent and parallel sides, measuring angles, and understanding the attributes of different quadrilaterals. Special attention is given to comparing figures and identifying unique properties of quadrilaterals. The lesson concludes with instructions for homework.

• Figure 2

Do figures 2 and 3 share all attributes?

• Yes, they have parallel and congruent sides

• Yes, they are identical

• No, they have different angles

• No, they have different sides

What is the length of the sides in figure 3?

• 3.5
