Max Maths, Year 6, Practice, Quadrilaterals

In a mathematics practice session for Year 6 students, the focus is on identifying the properties of various quadrilaterals. The exercise presents a series of statements about different quadrilaterals, and students are tasked with ticking the statements that correctly describe each shape. For a trapezium, one true statement is that it has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel. A rhombus is characterized by all sides being of equal length and both pairs of opposite angles being equal. When it comes to a rectangle, it is defined by having both pairs of opposite sides parallel and both pairs of opposite angles equal, but not all sides are of equal length.

Further, a parallelogram shares the property of a rectangle in that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and both pairs of opposite angles are equal, but adjacent sides are not necessarily of equal length. The square is a special quadrilateral where all sides are of equal length, both pairs of opposite angles are equal, and both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Lastly, a kite has pairs of adjacent sides that are of equal length, but it does not necessarily have all sides of equal length or both pairs of opposite sides being parallel. Students can refer to their workbook pages 116 to 119 for additional practice and examples of these quadrilaterals.
