What Figure Am I?

geometry · classifying quadrilaterals

Understand the relationship between different types of convex quadrilaterals.

What Figure Am I? is a Grade 5 geometry classification activity built around the relationships among quadrilaterals. Students review attributes of trapezoids, kites, rhombi, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and quadrilaterals, then organize the shapes in a Venn-style hierarchy. Questions such as whether every square is also a rectangle or rhombus require students to justify category relationships.

Use it as a whole-class discussion when students are moving beyond memorized shape names to inclusive definitions. The classification diagram makes overlapping quadrilateral properties visible.
