Tangrams
Tangrams are an ancient Chinese Puzzle. They are made up of diffent shapes ie: parralelagrams, triangles, squares, rectangles.
With Tangrams you can use your imagination and create objects using maths at the same time.
I learnt that 2 triangles the same size are called congruent.
You can make a trapezoid by folding a triangle shape. Fold the corner of the top of the triangle down to the bottom, cut and you are left with 1 small traingle and a trapazoid.A
Learning about Tangrams was fun. Here is some examples of what I made below out of the shapes.
