In our polygon unit we are learning about four-sided figures called
QUADRILATERALS!
Many people were confused about why some shapes have more than one name. Here are some tutorials to help you learn about quadrilaterals.
QUADRILATERALS!

Tutorial #1 - What is a parallelogram?
Tutorial #4 - What is a square?

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help. I used your movies for #4. It helped me know if it's statement was true!
Great job,
Taylor S. :-)
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quadrilateral post. It help me answer all of the questions on my homework.

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI love how I can rely on you to help me learn. I noticed that in my house there is a piece of plastic shaped like a rectangle. It's also a parallelogram.

Dear Rhombus Group,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the help. I think we made a great tutorial! Nice teamwork.
Sincerely,
Jonah
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI think these tutorials are very useful! I can't wait to film the square tomorrow.
You are all becoming very good public speakers!
Great job!

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteOn my homework I noticed something that looked wrong in one of the tables about the rhombus. The characteristics of a rhombus are four equal sides and no right angles. On our class movie about the rhombus, it states that a square is also a rhombus. I looked further in a dictionary and discovered a rhombus is an oblique- angled equilateral parallelogram; any equilateral parallelogram except a square. The square is only considered a rhombus in special cases.

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great job you all did! I hope that the square post is going to be on the blog soon. I love that Kyle used his hands to show that the lines were parallel.
I loved all of them. It helped me solve some of the problems.
Your classmate,

Dear class,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the geometry lesson. It has been a long time since I have had to think about an equilateral parallelogram. Keep up the great work!

Dear Matthew,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your research! You said, "The square is only considered a rhombus in special cases." I wonder what those special cases are?
I am going to find out! (Unless you beat me to it!)
Thank you for your hard work!

It helped me do my homework.

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteWhat are your favorite shapes; a rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, or a square? Atleast one person can
answer me.
Yours truely,
Lexi
Dear Lexi,
ReplyDeleteYou asked which shape is my favorite. I love the square.
It is my favorite quadrilateral because I like right angles. In addition, it has four lines of symmetry, and I think that is interesting. Finally, I like that when you fold it diagonally, it makes an isosceles right triangle.
Thanks for asking! I hope other readers will reply.
Which is your favorite quadrilateral?
Sincerely,
Mrs. Yollis
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteThanks, now I know what a parallelogram, a rhombus, a square, and a rectangle is!

Dear Lexi,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shape is a rectangle, because it has 4 right angles.
What is your favorite shape?
Thanks,
Taylor S. :D
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI love how you found that square! Was it hard looking all over the internet for it?
:D Thanks,
Taylor S.
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tutorial was about the rectangle because it reminds me of my hockey stick's blade which is kind of similar to a rectangle.
Thanks for the help!

Dear class,
ReplyDeleteToday during math homework I noticed that they asked a quadrilateral question I needed a tiny up-date on quadrilaterals because we have not done quadrilaterals in a few months.
I used it on #3. I got stuck a little on #8 (it was about perimeter) maybe we should do a post about perimeter!
Love,
Bethany :)
