This document provides instructions for creating a foldable to help students learn about different types of quadrilaterals. The foldable includes sections to draw and list properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. Additional sections cover characteristics of trapezoids, kites, and irregular quadrilaterals. The completed foldable allows students to compare properties of different quadrilaterals and test their understanding of interior angles summing to 360 degrees.
