Properties of Quadrilaterals
Investigating the properties of different quadrilaterals (parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares, trapeziums, kites).
Key Questions
- Compare and contrast the properties of different quadrilaterals.
- Analyze how the specific properties of a quadrilateral make it suitable for certain applications.
- Construct a hierarchy of quadrilaterals based on their shared and unique characteristics.

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.
