Now that your child is in fourth grade…they are being introduced to a new idea!
The true definition of a rectangle is a quadrilateral that has four right angles. (The length of the sides does not matter. )
The definition of a square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles.
Therefore… a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square!
:O) Mrs. Spata
PS I have told my students not to confuse their younger brothers and sisters with this information until they are fourth graders too. 🙂
