Constructing Quadrilaterals
High schoolers investigate quadrilateral construction in this geometry lesson. They use Cabri Jr. to construct the different quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy given minimal definitions. The lesson reinforces the difference...
Curated OER
Creating a Midpoint Quad
Using a TI Navigator to drag quadrilaterals around to create different shapes, students learn how to draw midpoints in their quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using the properties of quadrilaterals.

Geometry: Classifying Quadrilaterals
Students use construction technology to identify and find relationships between the attributes of various quadrilaterals. They make and test conjectures about the distinguishing properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses,...
Curated OER
Ship Shape
Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.
