Tangrams

What you see here is called a Tangram--it is a large rectangle cut into 7 other shapes which can be changed and manipulated into other shapes or objects, like animals.
We dedicated one Friday morning math class to some critical thinking activities with tangram pieces.  Some people LOVED the puzzles....other people were super frustrated because the shapes did not seem to be cooperating!
We turned some of the puzzles into a competition to see who could figure out the shape first.  It was exciting and a little different. You can see below some of the groups working together to figure out the shapes.





We will have to do it again soon!

Happy Spring Break, Everyone!
