Introduction
Quadrilaterals
- A quadrilateral is a closed shape with four sides, four vertices and four angles . The interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360°.
- We identify quadrilaterals by their sides, angles and diagonals.
The image below shows the different types of quadrilaterals and their properties:
Please watch the following introduction video to quadrilaterals:

Task
Your task is to do research on quadrilaterals, self study and then create a poster that you will present in class. The size of your poster will be A3 board and pictures can be included.
Your poster should include the following:
- Name of each quadrilateral
- Drawings of images of each quadrilateral
- properties of each quadrilateral
Make sure you understand the information on your poster because you will need to explain this to me in class.
Process
After doing research and gathering information, it's time to be creative and start your poster!
- You will need to use different colors to show the different types of quadrilaterals. Make your poster very eye catching so that you grab the attention other learners when you present it.
- Your drawing should be neat and big enough for everyone to see. Use the appropriate mathematical symbols to illustrate the properties on your drawings.
- Resources that you can use to do research include:

Evaluation
| Criteria | Excellent | Good | Average | Poor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Content | Correct information is displayed on poster. | Mostly accurate information is displayed. | Some facts are accurately displayed on poster | A few facts are accurately displayed. |
| Visual presentation | The poster is exceptionally attractive in terms of color, design and neatness | The poster is attractive in terms of color, design and neatness | The poster is acceptably attractive, a bit messy. | The poster is distractingly attractive, messy and poor design. |
| Correct Representation | Excellent representation of all properties and illustrations for each quad. | Good representation of the properties and illustrations. | Not all correct properties and illustrations. | No illustration and incorrect properties. |
| Correct use of mathematical terms | Proper use of mathematical terms. | Correct use of mathematical terms. | Some terms are used correctly | Incorrect use of mathematical terms. |
Conclusion
The purpose of this task was to help learners learn and comprehend the properties of quadrilaterals.
At the end of all presentations, I hope that all learners are positive and the topic of quads.
Credits
Now that you have learned the properties of all the quadrilateral family please extend your knowledge by going through the following sources. We will go deeper into calculations in our next lesson.
