A tangram is a classic puzzle built from seven pieces: triangles, squares and a parallelogram. Because the pieces can be arranged in many ways, it works well for open-ended exploration.
Useful for:
- Learning about shape and how pieces fit together
- Exploring symmetry and similarity
- Hands-on maths activities in classrooms and at home
