Dime 7 piece Tangrams (pack of 4)

Product Information

Geoff Giles. A traditional Tangram set consists of seven pieces cut in the traditional way from a square and from them thousands of different shapes and images can be created. However, it is also possible to divide the square into five pieces and thus to approach the subject in a simpler way. By including both of these approaches, this Tangrams Project offers a novel introduction to shape recognition and to simple geometry. One innovation is to base the work on 'dotty' paper. Not only does this reduce the number of options but means that any child is able to draw and record the shapes without difficulty.The pack includes four sets of each type of tangram together with a book of blackline masters, called 'Tangram Teasers'. The answers to the questions and problems are printed in pale blue ink, so they can be seen by the teacher but disappear from the photocopied worksheets which are to be handed out to the class. The tangrams are made out of brightly coloured Plastazote
