Celebrity quadrilaterals: algorithms
Using a game, students develop an understanding of how a decision tree algorithm works. They apply this understanding to create their own algorithm to classify special quadrilaterals by their properties. Sequentially it is suggested that the Geometric patterns lesson is completed prior to this lesson, as it covers classifying triangles and quadrilaterals.
