Students complete nine sentences about rectangle angles, squares as both rhombuses and rectangles, and parallelogram opposite side properties. The matching activity pairs rectangle, trapezoid, rhombus, and square with their defining property descriptions.
Matching quadrilateral names to their specific defining properties reinforces the full hierarchy and prepares students to apply classification confidently in multi-attribute reasoning tasks involving parallelograms, trapezoids, and squares.

Classifying 2D Shapes
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A rectangle has four right angles.
2. A shape with four equal sides and four right angles is both a rhombus and a square.
3. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal.
4. A rhombus has 4 equal sides.
5. A quadrilateral with no parallel sides is called a general quadrilateral.
6. Every square is a special type of rhombus because it has four equal sides.
7. The diagonals of a rectangle are always equal in length.
8. A parallelogram has opposite angles that are equal.
9. A trapezoid has exactly 1 pair(s) of parallel 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.
Four right angles, opposite sides equal
→ Rectangle
Square
Exactly one pair of parallel sides
→ Trapezoid
Rhombus
Four equal sides, no right angles required
→ Rhombus
Rectangle
Four equal sides and four right angles
→ Square
