So I thought over spring break I would catch up on all of my blogging, find cool new activities to do with my math students, and create some new ISN pages. Well needless to say that never happened... We covered Quadrilaterals in Geometry class, however we only went with regular quadrilaterals for the time being. My students love charts, and when I say love I really mean LOVE!! It's weird how excited they can get about a chart, but whatever will make them happy. So to cover the characteristics of the different types of regular quadrilaterals I had my students fill in the following chart. We started off drawing a picture of each shape and from there the students told me what to write in both the "Angles" and "Sides" boxes. It turned into a whole class discussion where all I did was fill in my chart as they told me what to put in it. My students will admit that they are not the best artists (frankly neither am I ), so made these shapes on the computer for them to cut out and tape into their notebooks. Students used rulers and protractors to help them figure out what angles and sides were congruent. As they discovered characteristics of the quadrilaterals as a class we wrote the information below and to the side of each of the shapes. We did go through in the beginning identifying each of the shapes by name, then color coding their different characteristics (color chart at the top) that they had discovered through their exploration of the 6 quadrilaterals. **Update: Both pages have been change to reflect the correct information for Kite** Quadrilaterals Characteristics Chart Quadrilateral Shapes
