Topic
1.
Think First! [5 mins]
What do you know about the diagonals of your shapes?
Is it possible to construct certain quadrilaterals using facts about their diagonals?
Once you have done this, you can complete the table about properties of quadrilaterals which
you started on the previous worksheet.
If you are unable to do 1 above, do the following exercise which will help you to complete the
table.

Use the facts about angles to construct the different quadrilaterals you have drawn.
Make a quadrilateral family tree.
Make a collection of pictures of quadrilaterals used in architecture and manufacturing.
You could do a collection of pictures from old magazines and pamphlets or you could
make a digital collection on your device.
