Tangrams – A Sage’s Journey

Today we are going to use the 7 pieces of a tangram to make the black swan design which is part of our West Australian flag.

First, we are going to listen to the story of the tangram, “A Sage’s Journey”.

TANGRAMS in GEOMETRY

Today we are investigating TANGRAMS. Watch these two videos to see how to make some of these tangram patterns! Remember the 2D shape names we have learned – especially the parallelogram. (the sloping quadrilateral).

1 is Uni; 2 is bi; 3 is tri; 4 is quad; 5 is penta; 8 is octa….

This video explains all about Tangrams.

This video is a challenge to make a rocket using your tans. Try and make the shape of the rocket by joining tans together. Then you can watch to see how to solve the puzzle properly.

Have fun. 🙂
