MATH: Today in Math we worked on the properties of quadrilaterals and quadrangles. If you want to involve your child in a conversation about their school day, try asking them the following questions:
What is the difference between a quadrilateral and quadrangle? There isn't one! A quadrilateral is a 4 sided shape and a quadrangle is a shape with 4 angles. Shapes with 4 sides have 4 angles. Shapes with 4 angles have 4 sides. quadrilaterals and quadrangles are the same.
Is a Triangle a Quadrangle? No! Tri means 3. quad means 4. A triangle has 3 sides A quadrilateral had 4.
What are two examples of Quadrangles? Square, rectangle, trapezoid, rhombus, kite, parallelogram.HOMEROOM: Tomorrow is the day! Not only will be get to take our MATH NWEA, we - cross your fingers! - will also get to take our class picture. Be sure to bring those sunglasses!!
