Grade 4 medium practice digs into the quadrilateral hierarchy. Through fill-ins and a matching activity, students explain why every square is a rectangle and a rhombus, and why all rectangles and rhombuses are parallelograms. Vocabulary like parallel and perpendicular supports the reasoning carefully. Students explore the quadrilateral hierarchy that shows how special shapes belong to multiple categories at once for Grade 4 reasoning power.

Classifying Quadrilaterals
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Every square is also a rectangle because both have 4 right angles.
2. Every square is also a rhombus because both have 4 equal sides.
3. A rectangle is always a parallelogram because it has 2 pairs of parallel sides.
4. A rhombus is always a parallelogram because it has 2 pairs of parallel sides.
5. A four-sided shape with exactly one pair of parallel sides is a trapezoid.
6. A parallelogram with 4 right angles is called a rectangle.
7. A parallelogram with 4 equal sides is called a rhombus.
8. A parallelogram with 4 right angles AND 4 equal sides is a square.
9. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral, so it has 4 sides.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Square
→ 4 equal sides AND 4 right angles
4 equal sides AND 4 right angles
Rectangle
→ 4 right angles, opposite sides equal
4 right angles, opposite sides equal
Rhombus
→ 4 equal sides, no required right angles
4 equal sides, no required right angles
Trapezoid
→ Exactly one pair of parallel sides
Exactly one pair of parallel sides
