Properties of Parallelograms

Activity Overview

Students find angle measures and lengths of sides and diagonals of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombi, and squares. They change the size and shape of each type of parallelogram to see which properties hold true for each. Last, they complete a Venn diagram illustrating the relationships among the parallelograms and answer some always-sometimes-never questions regarding parallelograms.
