    What is Tangram

    A Chinese puzzle made by


    cutting a square of thin
    material into five triangles,
    a square, and a rhomboid
    which are capable of being
    recombined in many
    different figures.
    Tangram
    The Tangram is a deceptively simple set of seven geometric
    shapes made up of five triangles (two small triangles, one
    medium triangle, and two large triangles), a square, and a
    parallelogram. ... Tangram pieces are widely used to solve
    puzzles that require the making of a specified shape using
    all seven pieces.
    How is it started
    Invented in China approximately
    200 years ago, a tangram is a
    two-dimensional re-
    arrangement puzzle created by
    cutting a square into seven
    pieces — seven geometric shapes
    called “tans” (Slocum et al 2003).
    Benefits of tangram
    classify shapes.

    develop positive feelings about geometry.


    gain a stronger grasp of spatial relationships.


    develop an understanding of how geometric shapes can be decomposed.


    hone spatial rotation skills.


    acquire a precise vocabulary for manipulating shapes (e.g., “flip,” “rotate”)
