Place these puzzling pieces in perfect order.
- Tangram Printable Activity page
- scissors
- Check with a grown-up before you begin.
- A tangram is a puzzle made up of shapes. You can combine them in different arrangements to make different patterns. That's the cool thing about a tangram.
- To start, print the activity page and follow the directions!
- Sarah says that you need to use the seven shapes on the page to make one large square. You have to use all seven pieces or it doesn't count.
Can you think of more shapes that can be made from these seven tangram pieces? Try it out. And if you come up with a really interesting shape, send it to ZOOM.

It was very, very, very, very hard at first. It took me almost an hour to figure it out. But finally, I got it.

I tried doing the tangrams and it worked well. My mom also gave me other shapes to make out of them. I even made a bird and a person.

I tried making the large square and I got it right away. I think this is because I am an abstract thinker, not a concrete thinker. There are two types of thinking, and an abstract thinker thinks in a more complex way than concrete. I always try to think of the hard solutions to things. Try making a bird. It's really fun and it's a challenge. Make sure that you use all the pieces of the tangram puzzle!!!
