Investigating Quadrilaterals – Part 3
On analysing the properties of different quadrilaterals in Part 1 and Part 2, (https://connect2context.com/2025/03/20/investigating-quadrilaterals/ and https://connect2context.com/2025/03/26/investigating-quadrilaterals-part-2/) here is a ‘Quadrilateral Classification tree‘ which would be helpful in understanding their grouping, when used in conjunction with the ‘Quadrilateral Chart’ table in the Part 1. The above chart is read as ‘Square is a rectangle’;

Investigating Quadrilaterals – Part 2
In continuation with exploring more on quadrilaterals, here comes an interesting activity based on the analysis in Part 1 (https://connect2context.com/2025/03/20/investigating-quadrilaterals/) “2 Truths and a Lie” In this activity there are sets of 3 statements , in which 2 of them are true and 1 is a lie. Find the lie and correct it. The

How to introduce “Quadrilateral”?
Just reading through the different types of quadrilaterals with their corresponding properties is a mundane task. How can we make it interesting? I love when the concepts are introduced along with literature (story-based books). One such book for early grades is “If you were a Quadrilateral” by Molly Blaisdell. This book gives a basic understanding

Investigating Quadrilaterals – Part 1
We see shapes in everything! Shapes are classified based on their properties. Few properties include: Number of sides Length of sides Number of angles (corners) Types of angles (acute, obtuse, right-angle) Parallel lines We know that any 4-sided closed polygon is called a quadrilateral. But are all the 4-sided ones the same? There are other
