Dear Mrs. Garces,
I did the math problem of the day.
The answer that I wrote yesterday was wrong. I forgot the 90 degrees. Anyway I am positive in this answer. I think the quadrilateral is a trapezoiod. That is what I think the answer is to the math problem of the day.
Dear Mrs. Garces
I did the math problem of the day. When I did it I got a trapezoid. Also i'm sending you this second comment because I forgot to put my number on the other one. Sorry about that. :(

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think the trapizoid. I think it's a trapisoid because a trapizoid has 4 sides and 1 pair of parrallel sides.

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think the answer to the problem is the quadrilateral is a trapizoid because a trapizid has only 1 pair of parallel sides and it has four sides.
Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think I found the answer to the problem of the day. I think the answer is a trapezoid i found this answer by knowing that the quadrilateral that has only 1 pair of sides is a trapezoid.
Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think that the answer to the math problem is the table is a trapezoid. I think the table is a trapezoid because the definition of a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of paralell sides. So because the table has only one pair of paralell sides and it is a quadrilateral it must be a trapezoid.

Dear Fifth Grade Teachers,
This is my answer and my explantion of how I got it. My answer for this math problem is the shape that the table is a trapezoid. I got a trapezoid because it is a quadrilateral. It also has one pair of parallel sides. When I read quadrilateral I thought of all the shapes that have four angles and sides and since it said only one pair of parallel sides I thought of a trapezoid. A trapezoid fitted in both the categories. So a trapezoid is my answer.

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I figured out the math problem. I think the answer is a trapezoid. I think that because it has four sides and there is only one pair of parallel sides.

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think the answer is trapezoid. I think that because a trapezoid has four sides and one pair of parallel sides.
From student 53
Dear 5th grade teachers,
In the math problem it says the table is a quadralateral with one pair of prallel sides.The table is a trapizoid because it only has 1 pair of parallel sides.
Dear 5th Grade teachers,
I think the answer to the math question is a trapezoid. I know because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I think that the answer for the math question of the day is a trapizoid. I think it is a trapizoid because there are 4 sides on a trapizoid and there is only one pair of paralell sides. You can tell there is 1 pair because if you keep on extending the lines then it will eventually touch.

Dear Mrs. Garces
Yesterday I got the problem wrong, but I today I'll get it right. The answer to the math problem is, a trapezoid. i know because a trapezoid is a 4 sided figure called a quadrilateral, and it has one pair of parallel sides. I know this because I listen in Math class.

Dear Mrs. Garces
Sorry I couldn't go on the blog because I mixed up the address because instead of Momilani5grade I put Momilanigrade5. So on the real subject I got trapazoid because the two sides on a trapazoid are parrellel.

Dear 5th Grade teachers,
I think I figured out the math problem of the day. I think it's a trapezoid because a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides and is a quadrilateral. I think this is the answer.
From student number 44
Dear Mrs. Garces,
I tried the math problem of the day and I thnk the answer to that question is a trapezoid. I think I am postitive with this answer becuase a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. ---- Quadrilateral= a closed figure that has four sides.

Dear, Mrs, Garces
I did the math prolblem today and I got a trapezoid. I got that by thinking of all of the quadrileral. Then drew all of the shapes and counted all the parellel lines.

Dear 5th grade teachers,
I tried the math problem which is a trapezoid.....I think.
From Student #26
Dear Mrs. Garces,
i didthe math problem and it was challenging but i figured it out its a trapezoid. i thought it was a rectangle but a rectangle has two parallelsides so thats when i said it has to be a trapezoid. I know i got the answer correct.
From Student#3
Dear Mrs Garces,
My answer for the math question is a trapezoid because it only has on pair of parallel sides.
From: student #23
Dear Mrs. Garces,
I think I solved the math problem. First, I think the quadrilateral A Trapezoid because if it has one pair of parallel sides and a Trapezoid has four.
From, Student #17
Dear 5th Grade Teachers,
For todays math problem I think it's a trapezoid. I think it's a trapizoid because trapezoids have parrallel sides. That is why I think it is a trpezoid.

Dear 5th grade Teachers
For todays math problem I think it is a trazoid. I think it is a trapezoid because it has a pair of parrael sides. That is my answer for the math problem of the day.
Your student#59:)
Dear 5th grade teachers,
I did it a got a trapezoid. I think that's the answer because it has four sides and one pair of parallel sides.
from, student #54
Dear 5th grade teachers,
IT WAS A TRAPEZOID because a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides.
