What does the “QUADRILATERAL HIERARCHY” even mean?  

• Quadrilaterals are a “hierarchical” shape.  This means the shape students have been calling a square since kindergarten is actually a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram, AND a quadrilateral.  Needless to say, this is a tough concept for a 5th grader. 
• Kids are used to one shape having one name.  This lesson walks them through a systematic flow chart and gives them the tools to understand this quadrilateral hierarchy.  
• Students learn the idea that one geometric property gives a shape one name.  For example: 2 sets of parallel sides gives a shape the name “parallelogram,” which means rhombuses, squares, and rectangles are all in the parallelogram family.

What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Sally’s lessons follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!  Multiple pages of practice are included in every packet to avoid early finishers. 

These Properties of Quadrilaterals Worksheets are common core aligned to fifth grade standards 5.G.3 (identifying quadrilaterals) and 5.G.4 (quadrilateral hierarchy). 

The instructional guide in this resource includes best practices and teaching hacks that are sure to make this lesson a success!
