1. Parallelograms, Rhombuses, Rectangles & Squares (oh my!)
Graphic Organizer

2. You Need: 1 piece of paper Scissors (remember your safety rules)
Pencil
ruler

3. Step 1 Fold the paper in half one way, crease it, then open it back up
Do the same for the other direction

4. Step 2
Fold the long ends in toward the middle and keep them folded in

5. Step 3
Cut along the crease of the flaps to create 4 “doors”

6. On the doors
Parallelogram: a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides
Rhombus: a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides
Rectangle: a parallelogram with 4 congruent angles
Square: a parallelogram that is a rhombus and a rectangle

7. Inside the flaps:

8. Parallelogram (left side):
Quadrilateral
Opposite sides parallel
Opposite sides congruent
Opposite angles congruent
Consecutive angles supplementary
Diagonals bisect each other

9. Parallelogram (right side):

10. Rhombus (right side): Quadrilateral Opposite sides parallel
All sides congruent
Opposite angles congruent
Consecutive angles supplementary
Diagonals bisect each other
Diagonals are perpendicular

11. Rhombus (left side):

12. Rectangle (left side):
Quadrilateral
Opposite sides parallel
Opposite sides congruent
All angles congruent
Consecutive angles supplementary
Diagonals bisect each other
Diagonals are congruent

13. Rectangle (right side):B D C
AC = BD

14. Square (right side): Quadrilateral Opposite sides parallel
All sides congruent
All angles congruent
Consecutive angles supplementary
Diagonals bisect each other
Diagonals are congruent and perpendicular

15. Square (left side): A B
AC = BD D C
