Quadrilateral Scavenger Hunt
175 points

Learning Goal: To identify quadrilaterals in real word applications.

Materials Needed: Quadrilateral Properties worksheet, Flip camera, Golden Pass to be in the hallways, writing instrument, and this sheet. I have clipboards that you may use.

Task: To locate squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and isosceles trapezoids, record your findings with a Flip camera, and describe their properties. Optional shapes to find are a kite, trapezoid (not isosceles), right triangle, and isosceles triangle.

Rules of the Hunt:
• May bring things in from home or find items at school
• May use photographs (from anywhere) or artwork that is posted in the school
• May use parts of logos, packaging, items used to construct a whole object
• The shape does not need to “stand alone”
• May use a different perspective of its intended shape
• May use the Internet to help you come up with ideas
• May NOT draw the figure, find it on the internet, cut it out of paper, or create it
• Each group member needs to describe the characteristics of at least one quadrilateral
• Each group member needs to find at least one quadrilateral
• Each group member needs to film at least once
• Everyone must be on their best behavior in hallways and not disturb other classes
• Everyone must be careful with the Flip cameras
• All filming must be completed and submitted by __________

List and Point Totals:
□ Parallelogram (not a square, rhombus, or rectangle) = 15
□ Rectangle (not a square) = 5
□ Rhombus (not a square) = 15
□ Square = 10
