What students practice

  • Students classify quadrilaterals in a hierarchy of trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.
  • Students decide whether a statement about two shape families is always, sometimes, or never true.
  • Students name every family a shape belongs to and identify its most specific name.

How to use

Read Robo's rule book together and point out that, in this book, every parallelogram also counts as a trapezoid. Let students sketch each shape card before they name it.
