Quadrilaterals

Aimed at primary level, this resource contains an interactive spreadsheet designed to illustrate different types of quadrilaterals. Each page provides colourful examples of the following: square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, kite, trapezium and arrowhead.

The examples may be used when naming shapes and discussing their characteristics, looking at coordinates, calculating perimeters and areas of shapes and calculating angles and lengths of diagonals.

The last page 'What is it?' generates a shape randomly and may be used to quickly name and describe the properties of the shown quadrilateral.

This resource has been provided by the Virtual Textbook. It is part of the Geometry and Measure sub-collection, which contains many further curriculum linked interactive spreadsheets.
