When do students in Vietnam learn about parallelograms in the Mathematics curriculum?
The parallelogram is a fairly basic geometric shape, typically introduced to students in grade 4.
According to the Mathematics education curriculum issued along with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:
- Recognize acute, obtuse, and straight angles.
- Recognize perpendicular and parallel lines.
- Recognize parallelograms and rhombuses.
- Draw trapezoids, parallelograms, and rhombuses (using a grid).
- Draw the height of a triangle.
- Draw circles with a given center and radius or diameter.
- Solve some problems related to measurement, drawing, assembling, and creating shapes associated with certain previously learned flat and solid figures, related to the application of geometry in practical scenarios, and related to content in subjects like Art, Technology, and IT.
- Describe some basic elements (sides, angles, diagonals) of rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and isosceles trapezoids.
- Draw rectangles, rhombuses, and parallelograms using learning tools.
- Solve some practical problems related to calculating the perimeter and area of the above-mentioned special shapes (e.g., calculating the perimeter or area of certain objects with the above-mentioned special forms,...).
- Explain properties regarding adjacent angles, base side, diagonals of trapezoids.
- Recognize signs for a trapezoid to be an isosceles trapezoid (e.g., a trapezoid with two equal diagonals is an isosceles trapezoid).
- Explain properties regarding opposite sides, angles, and diagonals of parallelograms.
- Recognize signs for a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram (e.g., a quadrilateral with two diagonals intersecting at the midpoint of each is a parallelogram).
- Explain properties regarding the diagonals of rectangles.
- Recognize signs for a parallelogram to be a rectangle (e.g., a parallelogram with two equal diagonals is a rectangle).
- Explain properties regarding rhombus diagonals.
- Recognize signs for a parallelogram to be a rhombus (e.g., a parallelogram with two perpendicular diagonals is a rhombus).
- Explain properties regarding the diagonals of a square.
- Recognize signs for a rectangle to be a square (e.g., a rectangle with two perpendicular diagonals is a square).
Thus, according to the above regulations, a parallelogram is introduced to students in the Grade 4 Math curriculum.
