Tangrams

The new H Puzzle

Right Arrow


This tangram looks simple, but is surprisingly difficult to put together. This puzzle originally served to advertise the products of the Hathaway Bread Company. 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.
