Check understanding
- Explain why all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
- Place quadrilaterals in a hierarchy diagram showing subset relationships
- Identify properties shared by all parallelograms and explain why rhombuses and rectangles are special cases
“If someone asks your child "is a square also a rectangle?", can they explain why the answer is yes — because a square has all the properties of a rectangle plus equal sides?”
