Angles in Quadrilaterals
Students will investigate the sum of angles in quadrilaterals and other polygons.
Key Questions
- Explain the relationship between the number of sides of a polygon and the sum of its interior angles.
- Analyze how the properties of specific quadrilaterals (e.g., square, rectangle, parallelogram) affect their angles.
- Construct a method to find a missing angle in a quadrilateral.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
