Complete this practice sheet to sharpen your skillz!
Identifying Quadrilaterals
Pssst!! Have you written anything down in your notebook? Did you take notes while watching the video or completing the practice sheet? If you didn't, why don't you take a second and write down all the different shapes your just heard about. Write one quick characteristic about each one as well! That's good note taking!!
