Sometimes the pieces of the tangram puzzles are called 'tans'. All of which can be made with the seven tangram pieces. You can also search online to find a variety of puzzles that look like animals. For instance, what shape is it? how many sides? how many vertices? what is the area? what is the perimeter? what are the angle measures? is it symetrical? is it congruent? Have students take each piece and tell as much about the piece as they can. Tangram pieces can also be used for measuring angles, identifying the types of angles, identifying triangle types and measuring area and perimeter of basic shapes/polygons. If the printed version is laminated, the tangram pieces will last much longer.
Tangrams also come in brightly colored plastic pieces, however, by taking the pattern and printing it on cardstock, students can color the pieces any color they wish. Explore time is essential for students to make connections, another essential skill in math. Students usually prefer to have hands on math versus pencil/paper tasks. When math manipulatives are used, the concept is often more clearly understood.Īctivities like these help to promote problem solving and critical thinking while at the same time as providing motivation for the tasks. Tangrams are just one of the manipulatives used to make math both fun and to enhance the concept. AND, of course one of the puzzles is to put the seven pieces together to form the big square. A tangram has two large triangles, one medium triangle, two little triangles, one parallogram and a square. The Tangram is an ancient popular Chinese puzzle that is often seen in math classes. Make a rhombus with the smallest three triangles, make a rhombus with the five smallest pieces and make a rhombus with all seven pieces.
