How to Play Tangram?

The Tangram game is basically easy to explain: By disassembling a square, 7 tiles (also called "tans") are created, namely two large triangles, one medium triangle, two small triangles, one square, and one parallelogram. Countless figures and abstract shapes can now be laid out, such as people, animals, buildings, or ships, which are mostly predefined. Of course, players can also create freely. The rule is: the simpler and more closed the shape, the more difficult its decryption. The more differentiated a figure, the easier it is to replicate.

Usually, Tangram is played alone, but it is very suitable for partner and group work in geometry classes. Playing and puzzling together promote social skills in children.

Important: When playing, all 7 Tangram shapes must be used. In addition, the shapes must touch each other, and the pieces must not overlap!

Tangram - What is Promoted?

Tangram enables children to playfully access Geometry. It is particularly suitable for classes 2 to 4. We have listed 8 reasons why Tangram supports learning goals in elementary school:

Geometric understanding
Orientation in two-dimensional space
Connections between shapes and surfaces
Naming of surface shapes
Creativity
Combination skills
Logical thinking & imagination
Content and process-related competencies
