Tangrams
Tangram is a puzzle and tans or tangram pieces refer to the seven pieces used to make the puzzle. The pieces are made up of 2 large triangles, 1 medium triangle, 2 small triangles, 1 square, and 1 parrellogram.
Students will be using the tangram pieces to represent shapes. They will attempt to cover a series of figures with all or some of the seven tangram pieces. Some of the figures are possible to cover; and others are not. Students will also make their own tangram puzzles and share them with other students.
