Happy word search day! (It’s on the table)

2. Last time we talked about the properties of quadrilaterals
Last time we talked about the properties of quadrilaterals. Please get your notes out and make sure we got them all.

3. Any four sided polygon is a quadrilateral.
All convex quadrilaterals have:
4 sides
4 angles
Interior angles add to 360°
Special quadrilaterals in this section:
Parallelogram
Rhombus
Rectangle
Square
Trapezoid
Trapezium
Kite

4. Properties of a trapezium
0 pair of parallel sides

5. Properties of a kite (a kite is a special trapezium)
2 pair of congruent sides
Consecutive sides are congruent
Opposite sides are NOT congruent
Diagonals are perpendicular
Notice only ONE diagonal
is bisected

6. Properties of a trapezoid
A trapezoid has one and only one pair of parallel sides.

7. Properties of parallelograms
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel
Opposite sides are congruent
Opposite angles of a parallelograms are congruent.
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary
supplementary

8. Properties of Rhombuses (Rhombi)
A rhombus is a parallelogram (this means it has ALL of the characteristics of a parallelogram)
In addition:
A rhombus has four congruent sides
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular
The diagonals bisect opposite angles (you know I can’t draw this on powerpoint)

9. Properties of Rectangles
A rectangle is a parallelogram (this means it has ALL the characteristics of a parallelogram)
IN ADDITION:
Four right angles
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and they bisect each other

10. Properties of Squares (the love child)
A square is a rectangle (dad), and a rhombus (mom) It has ALL those characteristics!!!
four congruent sides (mom)
four right angles (dad)
The diagonals of a square:
bisect each other (dad)
are congruent (dad)
are perpendicular (mom)
Bisect opposite angles (mom)

11. Cut and sort
Go to the back of the room and get worksheets 2-15A and 2-15B and a pair of scissors
Your instructions are on 2-15B
Have fun Ü
Then complete 2-16
