Tangrams

Tangrams are puzzles of a type known as dissections. One shape is cut into pieces, and the pieces are re-arranged to make another shape.

In a basic Tangram, a square is broken apart into 7 pieces.



Today, the students cut apart their own Tangrams and made different shapes from those 7 pieces. We put the pieces in a bag so your child can show you how to do it at home.
