Tangrams

Throughout history, puzzles have been a source of fun and a way to strengthen memory skills, along with the ability to plan and test ideas. Puzzles help children of all ages recall shapes, colors, along with honing problem-solving tactics and strategic thinking. 

Tangrams were invented in China in the late 1700s. They consist of 7 pieces: 2 small triangles, 1 medium triangle, 2 larger triangles, a rhomboid, and a square.

In this program, students will color tangrams, then use geometry, shapes, colors, and sizes to create patterns. They will use creative problem-solving skills to invent patterns they see around them and bring meaning to shapes and colors. Students will learn how spatial relationships work along with color and geometric shapes.
