GRAFFITI WALK! Directions: Use the quadrilateral card to find
your partner(s) with the same quadrilateral as you. Once you have
found your partner(s), please find the poster with the
quadrilateral that matches your card. Use the marker located by the
poster to list as many attributes about the shape and draw as many
shapes that exemplify your quadrilateral.

W E ARE F AMILY ! Every pair of students will be given the name
of a quadrilateral to fill in on their sheet of paper, and a sheet
of paper with a picture of every quadrilateral and all of the
attributes of quadrilaterals. Cut out the shapes, but do not
glue/tape/staple anything to your paper! Locate the shape that
matches the name of the quadrilateral you were given. Place it
under My Quadrilateral on this worksheet. Select every property
that goes with that shape. Place it under All of its Properties.
Select all of the shapes that have the same properties and place
them under Yes. Select all of the shapes that dont have all the
properties and place them under No. When you and your partner are
done and agree on the placement of everything, raise your hand for
your teacher to check your work. If everything is correct, write in
each attribute on this sheet of paper. (The teacher will then give
you a new We are Family! sheet and the name of a different
quadrilateral)

2 Truths and 1 Lie o Game played similarly to Quiz-Quiz- Trade
o Students must first identify the 1 false statement on each card.
They must also justify how they know this is a false statement. o
Students can then quiz each other by folding the card along the
line.
Slide 33
2 Truths and 1 Lie Which statement is false? Every square is
also a rectangle. Every parallelogram is also a rectangle. Every
square is also a rhombus.
Slide 34
2 Truths and 1 Lie Which statement is false? A parallelogram
can have two 45 angles and two 75 angles. A rhombus can have two 60
angles and two 120 angles. A trapezoid can have two right angles,
one 45angle, and one 135 angle.

Students can work individually, in pairs, or within small
groups. Each slide contains a sentence with one blank. The student
must decide if the word "always, sometimes, or never" should be
inserted into that blank. Individual students can be called up to
drag the correct word on top of the blank. If the student is
correct, the words "Good Job" will appear. If the student is
incorrect, that answer choice will disappear and the word the words
"Try Again" will appear. The "Always, Sometimes, Never- student
cards" Word document contains cards that can be copied on (green,
yellow, and red) card stock or paper for the students to hold up
before the answer is revealed. If you open the "Always, Sometimes,
Never- Oral Drill with answers" Word document, you will find a
sheet that can be printed out for the students as well as an answer
key.
