Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Quadrilaterals

In the Max Maths Workbook for Year 6, students delve into the world of quadrilaterals with Practice 3. The practice begins with a jumbled letter activity where students must unscramble the letters to correctly spell out the names of various quadrilaterals. For example, 'raequus' and 'tnglraece' are mixed up and need to be rearranged to form the names of these four-sided shapes. This fun and engaging task helps reinforce the spelling and recognition of different quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, and more complex shapes like trapeziums.

The workbook continues with interactive exercises that require students to identify specific types of quadrilaterals. They are instructed to circle the kites and cross out the rhombuses in one exercise, and circle the rectangles and cross the trapeziums in another. These activities not only test their ability to distinguish between various quadrilaterals but also encourage attention to the distinct properties of each shape. Further on, students are asked to write the names of the quadrilaterals and describe one of their properties, enhancing their understanding of the unique characteristics that define each shape. Additionally, the workbook includes problems that challenge students to find unknown lengths in given diagrams of rectangles and squares, applying their knowledge of the properties of quadrilaterals to solve practical problems.
