Definition Parallelogram Square Rectangle Rhombus Trapezoid

Parallelogram: A four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides.

Yes

Square: A four-sided polygon having equal-length sides meeting at right angles.

Yes

Rectangle: A four-sided polygon having all right angles.

Yes

Rhombus: A four-sided polygon having all four sides of equal length.

Yes

Trapezoid: A four-sided polygon having exactly one pair of parallel sides

Yes

How many names do I have?

Directions: Help the GBI (Geometric Bureau of Investigation) classify the quadrilateral family. Read the definitions of each quadrilateral and write “Yes” or

“No” if the definition defines other members of the family.

Lines and Angles

Magnets1. Move the magnetic pieces to

match concepts, drawings, vocabulary and Jungle Geometry concepts.

2. Do not remove pieces from the pans.

Jungle Geometry Video

1. Watch and listen to the video.

2. Fill in the sheets as you watch.

Computer Games

1. Play “Jungle Geometry Maze” game

2. Play Geometry Golf game.

Flight Paths1. Follow directions on the sheets.

2. Extra Work: Make up some flight paths of your own. Give the cities to the members of your group. See if the angle measurements match.

Tangrams1. Work as a team to use the tangram

pieces to fit in the geometric shapes.

2. Name the polygons.

3. Find the perimeters of each polygon.

4. Use the overlay squares to find the area.

Quadrilateral Family

1. Do “Quadrilateral Matrix” as a team.

2. Do “How many names do I have?”

3. Write definitions for each quadrilateral.

Great Polygon Search

1. Follow directions on the sheet to hide a polygon and find your partners polygon.

Alphabet Symmetry 1. Follow directions on the Alphabet Symmetry

sheet to find lines of symmetry in the alphabet letters.

2. Fold the construction rectangles to cut out letters to spell your name. (Glue them to a large construction sheet. You will glue your symmetrical face on the same sheet at your next center.)

Face Symmetry 1. Draw the other half of your

face. Each side should be a mirror image of the other.

2. Glue your face symmetry to the sheet with your symmetry letters.

Cube of the Jungle 1. Cut out the net along the outside edges.

2. Use a hole punch to punch hole where the circle are.

3. Fold up net to make a cube.

4. Glue the tabs to make the cube.

5. Read the outside questions. Look in the holes to find the answer.

6. Extra Work: Use the Polydrons to make nets of pyramids and rectangular prisms.
