What educators are saying
This is vital for geometry. use it every year, the best way to show that traits carry down the tree. This took the work off my plate. I ALWAYS use this! love!
I use the quad family tree every year to teach quads. This year I decided to see what tpt might have that is similar. I was happy to purchase this product!
Description
This graphic organizer is designed to help students remember quadrilateral properties using family tree relationships. Properties are presented from top to bottom and are organized based on the number of pairs of parallel lines. I enlarge the family tree to 11x17 paper, punch a hole in one of the short sides, and have students fold in half to clip into their binders. We take notes directly on the quadrilaterals. I have found this instructional strategy to be highly effective in helping students remember the abundance of properties pertaining to quadrilaterals. I present the family tree by talking about biological family trees and connecting quadrilateral properties to traits we inherit from our parents (and one day pass on to our children).
Included is a completely blank family tree, a family tree with just quadrilateral names, and a complete family tree with all properties. Family trees are provided in both .docx and .pdf format for your own editing based on the properties you will teach. I have also included JPEGs of both the blank and completed family trees.

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
CCSS5.G.B.4
Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
CCSSHSG-CO.C.11
Prove theorems about parallelograms.
