Make and draw quadrilaterals on circular geoboards
I can make and draw quadrilaterals on circular geoboards and name quadrilaterals according to their properties.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Join four dots on the edge of the circle to create a quadrilateral.
- Use the properties of the quadrilateral to decide if the quadrilaterals are different or the same.
- Work systematically to create all the different possible quadrilaterals.
Common misconception
Pupils find remembering the types and properties of quadrilaterals challenging.
Take time to repeat and revisit the key properties within the lesson and beyond. Consider providing a scaffold for some pupils so they can create quadrilaterals without having to recall the specific properties each time.
