Quadrilaterals Activity

This fun frame activity is perfect for teaching 3rd graders the concept of quadrilaterals. It would also be great as a review for 4th graders.

Quadrilaterals can be a difficult concept for students to grasp. This fun activity helps students differentiate the attributes of different shapes. Students will use the frame to put shapes in different categories. Those categories are shapes that 4 right angles, shapes where the opposite sides have an equal length, shapes where the opposite sides are parallel, and shapes that have 4 equal sides. There also is a spot for students to show the shape that doesn't fit any of the attributes.

There are two options for completing this activity. Students could cut out the given shapes and glue them in the correct section of the frame. Or, you could have students draw the shapes themselves. This can be more difficult with younger students. My example would help you see how it could be completed.

You will receive an instructions page for how to complete the activity.

You will receive a Quadrilaterals Frame with titles for each sections.

You will receive a page with quadrilaterals to cut out and place on the frame.

I've also included an example to see how students can fill it out.
