Grade 8 Math: Parallelograms in Motion

Grade 8 students explored the properties of parallelograms through a dynamic, hands-on activity!

Using four straws as sides and thread connecting opposite corners, students built flexible quadrilaterals. By adjusting the thread tension, they observed how the shape transformed while maintaining equal and parallel opposite sides.

This engaging activity made geometric properties tangible, helping students understand how parallelograms shift and change while preserving their defining characteristics.

Geometry has never been so interactive!
