Sorting Kit Quadrilateral (Product Code: SLE/LP/17) is a set of different types of quadrilaterals in two colours, used to discover and classify the properties of four-sided shapes in school geometry lessons. It is intended for up to 4 children aged 8–14 years, who sort the pieces in several ways to work out how different quadrilaterals are related — for instance, why every square is also a rectangle. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its other mathematics lab kits.

Quadrilaterals are where classification gets interesting, because the categories overlap: a square is also a rectangle and a rhombus, and all three are parallelograms. Sorting the pieces by parallel sides, equal sides and right angles lets children build these family relationships themselves instead of memorising a chart, and a Venn-style sort shows clearly which shapes belong to more than one group.
The kit also supports reasoning about angles. Drawing one diagonal splits any quadrilateral into two triangles, which explains why its four angles always make the same total. Overlaying pieces tests congruence, and comparing shapes that match in form but not in size opens a discussion of similarity. In a geometry corner of a school lab setup, this kit sits naturally after work on triangles.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, teacher-training institutes, maths labs and dealers in India and international markets. It can be quoted together with the triangle sorting kit for a complete polygon unit. Company information is available on the ScienceLab profile.

What does the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral contain?
The Sorting Kit Quadrilateral contains a set of different types of quadrilaterals made in two colours, for sorting and classification activities by groups of up to 4 children aged 8–14 years.
What will children learn with the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral?
With the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral, children discover the properties and classification of quadrilaterals, the angle sum property, congruence and similarity, and the relationships between different four-sided shapes, moving from visual recognition to analytical thinking.
How does the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral differ from the triangle kit?
The Sorting Kit Quadrilateral holds quadrilaterals in two colours, while Sorting Kits Triangle holds triangles in three colours. Both serve up to 4 children aged 8–14 years and can be used one after the other in a geometry unit.
Which quadrilaterals are included in the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral?
The exact shapes, number of pieces and material in the Sorting Kit Quadrilateral are not listed in its description beyond different types of quadrilaterals. Please ask through the contact page and the quotation will confirm the contents.
