The teacher will choose 10 students and separate
them into two lines. The teacher will show a
picture which indicates a special parallelogram.
The student in front will pass the action to the
person at the back until the last student. The last
student will go to the teacher and repeat the action
and identify the parallelogram. He/she should tell
all the properties of the said parallelogram.
 All the properties of
parallelograms hold true to
all special parallelograms.
 A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both
pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
