The word quadrilateral comes from two latin words "quadri" which means a "variant of 4" and 'latera' which means 'side'. A quadrilateral is a 4 sided figure with 4 sides, 4 angles and 4 vertices.
  
===Learning objectives===
+
This topic has its basics in polygons. Try to elicit live examples for quadrilaterals from within classroom, starting from the shape of a textbook. Show the vertices of a rectangular page.  Mark three sets of four  points on the blackboard, one set being collinear and other non-collinear. Call students to join the points of each set of points. This activity will introduce them to the concept of quadrilateral.  
* Students will be able to define quadrilaterals.

*Process:
 
# Keep ready flash cards of different plane figures.
 
# Can give 1 set to a group of 5 children.
 
# Ask students to observe the plane figures individually.
 
# Let them use their own sorting method and sort the figures by making columns and drawing on a sheet of paper.
 
# Go around and have each student tell you how they sorted.  Write the different ways on the board.  For duplicates, begin making tallies.
 
# Refer to the list (some students should have mentioned that they sorted by the number of sides).  Point out the number of sides/angles as the sorting rule.
 
# Tell students that all of the figures with four sides and four angles belong to the same family.  That family is the “Quadrilateral” family.
 
# Explain that quadrilaterals is a family of 4 sided plane figures.
 
# Also tell them about the differnt types of quadrilaterals. 
 
# Have the students to fold their paper in half and to draw a line down the middle of the paper.  On one half of the paper, write the word “Quadrilaterals”. On the other half of the paper write the words “Not Quadrilaterals.” Let them sort with this given rule.
 
# Have students draw each  of shapes on the correct side of the paper. 
 
# When all of the students have drawn on their papers, ask them if they can recognise any of the special quadrilaterals and if they can name them.
 
# Next the teacher can show them the geogebra file and formally introduce the naming of quadrilaterals.

Quadrilaterals are of different types. Grouping is made based on the four angle measures and/or sides. Each type is recognized with its characteristic properties. The types include regular, non-regular; convex, concave; parallelogram (square, rectangle, rhombus,) and non-parallelograms (trapezium and kite).

There are certain characteristic properties by which a quadrilateral is identified. A quadrilateral is a plane closed figure having 4 sides and 4 angles. The sum of all 4 interior angles of any quadrilateral always equals to 360 degrees. This is called the interior angle sum property of a quadrilateral. The sum of all 4 exterior angles of any quadrilateral equals 360 degrees. This is called the exterior angle sum property of the quadrilateral. If any 3 angles of a quadrilateral are known the fourth angle can be found using the angle sum property.

A square is a 4-sided regular polygon with all sides equal and all internal angles 90. A square is the only regular quadrilateral. It can also be considered as a special rectangle with both adjacent sides equal. Its opposite sides are parallel. The diagonals are congruent and bisect each other at right angles. The diagonals bisect the opposite angles. Each diagonal divides the square into two congruent isosceles right angled triangles. A square can be inscribed in a circle. A circle can be inscribed in a square touching all its sides.

Concept 1: Introduction to Quadrilaterals

The word quadrilateral comes from two latin words "quadri" which means a "variant of 4" and 'latera' which means 'side'. A quadrilateral is a 4 sided figure with 4 sides, 4 angles and 4 vertices.

This topic has its basics in polygons. Try to elicit live examples for quadrilaterals from within classroom, starting from the shape of a textbook. Show the vertices of a rectangular page.  Mark three sets of four  points on the blackboard, one set being collinear and other non-collinear. Call students to join the points of each set of points. This activity will introduce them to the concept of quadrilateral.

Activities #

This activity explores formation of a quadrilateral and elements related with the shape.

Identifying quadrilaterals

This is an exploration into quadrilaterals. A specific type of quadrilateral can be selected with the checkboxes, and any blue dots on each quadrilateral can be dragged to change the shape.

Concept 3: Types of quadrilaterals

Quadrilaterals are of different types. Grouping is made based on the four angle measures and/or sides. Each type is recognized with its characteristic properties. The types include regular, non-regular; convex, concave; parallelogram (square, rectangle, rhombus,) and non-parallelograms (trapezium and kite).

Classifying quadrilaterals based on their properties and identifying related quadrilaterals with ven-diagram.

Concept 2: Properties of quadrilaterals

There are certain characteristic properties by which a quadrilateral is identified. A quadrilateral is a plane closed figure having 4 sides and 4 angles. The sum of all 4 interior angles of any quadrilateral always equals to 360 degrees. This is called the interior angle sum property of a quadrilateral. The sum of all 4 exterior angles of any quadrilateral equals 360 degrees. This is called the exterior angle sum property of the quadrilateral. If any 3 angles of a quadrilateral are known the fourth angle can be found using the angle sum property.

Activities #
Angle sum property of a quadrilateral

Showing the sum of angles of quadrilaterals by placing the angles of the quadrilateral adjacent to each other with a hand on activity.

Sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral

The sum of the measures of the angles in any quadrilateral is 4 right angles.

Sum of angles at point of intersection of diagonals in a quadrilateral

A diagonal is the line segment that joins a vertex of a polygon to any of its non-adjacent vertices. These two diagonals of a quadrilateral form angle, this activity explores the property of these angles.

Area of a quadrilateral

A diagonal divides a quadrilateral into 2 triangles. Understanding the area of a quadrilateral in terms of triangles is done with this activity.

Properties of Parallelogram

Parallelogram on same base and between same parallels have equal area

Mid point of sides of a Quadrilateral forms parallelogram

Concept 3 : Properties of Rhombus

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal and its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of one another. Since the opposite sides and opposite angles of a rhombus have the same measures, it is also a parallelogram. Hence, a rhombus has all properties of a parallelogram and also that of a kite.

Concept 3: Construction of quadrilaterals

Concept 4: Square

A square is a 4-sided regular polygon with all sides equal and all internal angles 90. A square is the only regular quadrilateral. It can also be considered as a special rectangle with both adjacent sides equal. Its opposite sides are parallel. The diagonals are congruent and bisect each other at right angles. The diagonals bisect the opposite angles. Each diagonal divides the square into two congruent isosceles right angled triangles. A square can be inscribed in a circle. A circle can be inscribed in a square touching all its sides.

Four sides of a square are equal. Adjacent sides are at right angles with each other. The area of a square is side x side sq units. The perimeter of a square is the length of distance around its boundary which is 4 times its side.

Construct an isosceles trapezium and study its properties

A trapezium in which non-parallel sides are equal is called as an Isosceles Trapezium. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezium are equal. An isosceles trapezium has one line of reflection symmetry. This line connects the midpoints of the two bases. Both pairs of base angles of an isosceles trapezium are congruent. Pairs of angles in an isosceles trapezium that do not share a base are supplementary. The area of an isosceles trapezium is given by , where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the distance (height) between the parallel sides.
