🎮 How to Play Tangram
Tangram is an ancient Chinese puzzle using seven geometric shapes. Arrange all pieces to match a given silhouette—no overlapping and no pieces left out.
- View the silhouette: Study the target shape you need to recreate.
- Use all seven pieces: Large triangle (×2), medium triangle, small triangle (×2), square, and parallelogram.
- Rotate and flip: Pieces can be rotated and some can be flipped.
- Fill the shape: Arrange pieces to perfectly match the silhouette.
💡 Tangram Strategies
- Identify the large triangles: These are usually the most constrained—place them first.
- Look for right angles: Find where 90-degree corners fit in the silhouette.
- The parallelogram is tricky: Remember it can be flipped, making it more versatile.
- Fill small gaps last: Leave the small triangles for fine-tuning at the end.
🧠 Brain Benefits
Tangrams develop spatial reasoning, geometric understanding, and creative problem-solving. They're excellent for visual learners and help children understand concepts like rotation, symmetry, and spatial relationships. The ancient puzzle has been used in education for centuries.
