Geometric Shapes in Mathematics
Parallelogram
1) What is the name of this shape? Why do you think so?
2) what do you notice about its sides & angles?
3) Try looking at the diagonals and can you tell me notice among the diagonals?
4) Can you measure all angles and find out what the sum of them is? Try to prove it!
5) (After they figure out the shape) Do the angles satisfy the parallel line properties?
Isosceles triangle
1. If you fold the Isosceles triangle into half, then can you imagine if its properties remain the same?
2. What do you think the angles of the Isosceles triangle look like?
Square
1. Can all squares be a rectangle?
2. Can you fold a square into multiple smaller squares? How many smaller squares do you think it can be folded into?
1. Can all squares be a rectangle?
2. Can you fold a square into multiple smaller squares? How many smaller squares do you think it can be folded into?
Rectangle
1. Can we fold a rectangle into a smaller square?
2. Let's imagine cutting this rectangle along the diagonal lines into 2 triangles. Do you notice any similarities or relations between the triangles?

Rhombus
1. Can you tell some similarities and differences between rhombus and square?
2. What real-life objects have the same properties as Rhombus?
