Description

Did you know that there are THREE ways to define a trapezoid, or a trapezium as this polygon is classified in many countries? More importantly, do you know which definition you’re supposed to be teaching?

In Sorting Tricky Trapezoids (or Trapeziums), I explain all three definitions and provide two quadrilateral sorting activities for exploring the attributes of trapezoids or trapeziums. One is a printable hands-on activity for partners, and the other is a digital Google Slides activity. If you’re using Google Classroom, the most effective strategy is to start with the printable partner activity and assign the Google Slides activity later for independent practice or as a formative assessment.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
