What is a Square?
A square is a four-sided polygon with all sides of equal length and all angles of 90 degrees. In other words, it is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal in length.
Properties of a Square:
- Equal Sides: All four sides of a square are of equal length.
- Right Angles: All four angles of a square are right angles (90 degrees).
- Diagonals: The diagonals of a square are equal in length and bisect each other at right angles.
- Area: The area of a square can be calculated using the formula: Area = side x side or Area = side^2
- Perimeter: The perimeter of a square can be calculated by adding all four sides: Perimeter = 4 x side
Study Guide:

Connections to the Grade 7 Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: In grade 4, students used equivalent fractions to determine the decimal representations of fractions that they could represent with terminating decimals. Students now use division to express any fraction as a decimal, including fractions that they must represent with infinite decimals. They find this method useful when working with proportions, especially those involving percents. Students connect their work with dividing fractions to solving equations of the form ax = b, where a and b are fractions. Students continue to develop their understanding of multiplication and division and the structure of numbers by determining if a counting number greater than 1 is a prime, and if it is not, by factoring it into a product of primes.
