Description

In this worksheet, students cut out a tangram set, and put the different shapes together to make a set of designs. This can be used with our other tangram resources to create interesting puzzles for students. It is part of a larger unit that teaches students to compare and describe the 2 dimensional shapes that result from combining or splitting common shapes.
