- Other quadrilaterals: ___
- Total quadrilaterals: ___

Step-by-step Guide:

#### 🔹 Step 1: Understand the Shapes

Quadrilateral: Any polygon with four sides.

Examples:
- Square
- Rectangle
- Rhombus
- Parallelogram
- Trapezoid
- Kite
- Irregular four-sided shape

Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

> Note: In some definitions (especially in the U.S.), a trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides. But for this worksheet, assume it's the "exactly one pair" definition unless otherwise specified.

#### 🔹 Step 2: Identify All Quadrilaterals

Look at each shape and ask:
- Does it have 4 sides? → If yes, it’s a quadrilateral.
- If not, ignore it (e.g., triangles, pentagons, circles, etc.).

So:
- Triangles (3 sides) → Not quadrilaterals → Ignore
- Pentagons (5 sides) → Not quadrilaterals → Ignore
- Circles, ovals → Not polygons → Ignore
- Hexagons, octagons, etc. → Not quadrilaterals → Ignore

Only four-sided shapes count.

#### 🔹 Step 3: Classify the Quadrilaterals

For each quadrilateral:
- Check if it has exactly one pair of parallel sides → Trapezoid → Color blue
- If it has two pairs of parallel sides (like parallelograms, rectangles, squares) → Not a trapezoid → Color orange
- If it has no parallel sides (like a kite or irregular quad) → Also not a trapezoid → Color orange

> So: All quadrilaterals that are NOT trapezoids go orange.

#### 🔹 Step 4: Count

After coloring:
- Count how many shapes are blue → That’s the number of trapezoids
- Count how many are orange → That’s the number of other quadrilaterals
- Add them together → Total quadrilaterals

Example (Hypothetical):

Suppose you find:
- 8 trapezoids (blue)
- 12 other quadrilaterals (orange)

Then:
- Trapezoids: 8
- Other quadrilaterals: 12
- Total quadrilaterals: 20

---

Final Answer Format:

```
Trapezoids: 8
Other quadrilaterals: 12
Total quadrilaterals: 20
```

✔ Tips:

- Look carefully — some shapes may be rotated or tilted.
- Use a ruler or visual estimate to check for parallel sides.
- Remember: only four-sided shapes count as quadrilaterals.

If you can describe the shapes in the image (e.g., “there are 3 rectangles, 2 parallelograms, 5 trapezoids, 1 kite, 2 triangles, etc.”), I can help you count and classify them!
