Tangrams
Allow us to introduce you to tangrams: a versatile manipulative consisting of multiple geometric pieces that can be arranged in different ways. Tangrams help students build spatial sense and an understanding of geometric properties and relationships. They also provide opportunities for spatial exploration as well as exploration with fractions and proportional thinking. In addition to physical tangram pieces, there are also digital tangrams that are available online, as well as printable ones that are easy to implement in any classroom. There are many ways to use tangrams, and you might be surprised at how often you and your students opt to use them!
