Telling different types of quadrilaterals apart can be tricky. They look similar and have different qualities. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:

1. Similar Shapes:

   • Many quadrilaterals, like rectangles and rhombuses, have opposite sides that are equal.

2. Memorization:

   • It’s tough to remember all the properties of each shape.

3. Solution:

   • Try to focus on what makes each shape special:
     • Parallelograms have opposite sides that are equal.
     • Trapezoids have at least one pair of sides that are parallel.
     • Rectangles have all corners (angles) equal to 90 degrees.
     • Rhombuses have all sides that are equal.

To get better, practice figuring out the shapes by looking at their angles and sides.
