There are six special quadrilaterals identified in the Australian Curriculum:
- squares
- rectangles
- parallelograms
- rhombuses
- trapeziums
- kites.
Give students opportunities to see the properties in a variety of situations by providing activities that:
- engage students in using appropriate symbols, language and terminology
- include accurate pen-and-paper construction and measurement
- use dynamic geometry diagrams which students can manipulate
- use physical models such as geoboards
- include solving problems involving angle measurements
- show the inclusive way in which quadrilaterals are named.
