Describe, classify, and compare relationships among quadrilaterals including the square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, and kite.

Remarks

This benchmark examines properties of quadrilaterals one at a time.

Example: Explore a trapezoid through manipulatives, drawings and/or technology. Draw the diagonals and determine whether they are perpendicular. Give a convincing argument that your judgment is correct.
