Sorting Quadrilaterals by Shared Attributes

This video tutorial teaches how to sort quadrilaterals by their shared attributes. It covers identifying parallel sides, square corners, and equal side lengths to classify shapes as trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. The lesson emphasizes that some shapes can belong to multiple categories based on their attributes.

What is the defining feature of a trapezoid?

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• One pair of parallel sides

• Four square corners

• Four equal sides

Which shape has only one pair of parallel sides?

• Square

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

• Trapezoid

How can you determine if a shape has square corners?

• By measuring the angles with a protractor

• By ensuring all sides are parallel

• By fitting a sheet of paper perfectly in the corners

• By checking if opposite sides are equal

What characteristic defines a rhombus?

• One pair of parallel sides

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• All sides are the same length

• Four square corners

Which of these shapes has two pairs of parallel sides and four square corners?

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

• Rhombus

• Pentagon

What makes a square unique among quadrilaterals?

• It has four sides of equal length and four square corners

• It has one pair of parallel sides

• It has four sides of different lengths

• It has no parallel sides

What is a common feature of all quadrilaterals?

• They all have one pair of parallel sides

• They all have equal sides

• They all have four square corners

• They all have four sides
