TANGRAM

What is a tangram? 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). 

What are the seven shapes in a tangram? Each tangram puzzle contains the following:

• 2 large right triangles
• 1 medium-sized right triangle
• 2 small right triangles
• 1 small square
• 1 parallelogram

These tangram shapes can be fitted together as a large square, rectangle, or triangle. There are many ways to play with tangrams. What about creating the letters of your name? or what about your favourite animal? I have attached below a tangram template if you wanna play at home (one in colour and another in black and white).
