Tangrams

The Mathematical Cross

Mathematical Cross


This tangram is from the 1700's and is not that difficult to put together. You can make this puzzle by using 110 lb. card stock paper. The students may wish to color or paint a design on this tangram before they cut it out. They would then try to assemble the unfinished back face. The art work would assist them in reassembling the tangram. I store my tangrams in regular envelopes.
