Kites and Trapezoids
Use their properties, with Georgia's inclusive definition of a trapezoid.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 88
- In Georgia, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. At least one means two pairs is fine too.
- That means every parallelogram is also a trapezoid. It has more parallel sides than it needs.
- A kite has two pairs of equal sides, and each pair sits side by side. Its one line of symmetry runs from tip to tail.
- A rhombus fits that too, since all its sides are equal. So every rhombus is a kite.
