Exploring Rational Expressions: Addition and Subtraction

Mrs. Herman discusses classifying quadrilaterals, covering types like trapezoids, parallelograms, kites, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. She explains their properties, such as right angles, parallel sides, and congruent sides, using a hierarchy chart. The video includes exercises to identify these properties in various shapes.
