Quadrilateral Shape Properties Worksheet 11 Plus Practice
26 October 2026
Why quadrilateral properties matter
Understanding the properties of quadrilaterals is an essential part of 11+ maths. These questions often appear in both GL and CEM style exams.
Supporting your child at home
Start by helping your child recognise different types of quadrilaterals, such as rectangles, squares, parallelograms, rhombuses and trapeziums. Use everyday objects or draw shapes together to discuss their sides and angles.
Practical tips for practice
Encourage your child to label the sides and angles of each shape. Ask questions like: Which sides are parallel? Are all the angles equal? Practising with real examples helps build confidence.
Worked example
Imagine a quadrilateral with angles 80°, 100°, and 110°.
First, add the three known angles: 80 + 100 + 110 = 290°.
The angles in any quadrilateral add up to 360°.
To find the missing angle, subtract 290 from 360: 360 - 290 = 70°.
So, the fourth angle is 70°.
Key insight: Short, regular practice with different quadrilaterals helps your child spot patterns and remember key properties for the 11+ exam.
