① This interactive GeoGebra lab demonstrates the properties and relationships among rhombus, rectangle, and square, three special types of parallelograms. ② Core mathematical concepts include classification of quadrilaterals, diagonal properties (perpendicularity, bisection, equality), angle relationships (right angles, equal opposite angles), side properties (equal sides, parallel opposite sides), and the criteria for identifying these special quadrilaterals. ③ Construction details: Based on the construction summary, the lab uses GeoGebra commands such as Segment, Circle, Point, Intersect, OrthogonalLine, Line, Distance, and Angle, creating objects A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, O, and measuring distances CA, AB, DC with corresponding text labelscars. By dragging vertices, users can dynamically observe how the shape changes and which properties hold. ④ Suitable for middle school geometry lessons or self-study, helping students grasp the properties and identification of special parallelograms, and useful for teachers creating interactive instructional materials.
