amsunshine Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 My dds 5.5 and 7 are going crazy for tangrams. I got a worksheet with a few puzzles on it along with 4 sets of tangrams. I wasn't expecting them to love these so much, but they do! :) I know there are some tangram books available for purchase, but I was wondering if anyone knew about any great free resources online? I've googled, but can't find much. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've googled, but can't find much. TIA! Try googling something like "tangram puzzles printable" and you should get something other than books for sale or online interactive tangrams. Here are some to start: http://tangrams.ca/puzzles/puzzles.htm http://math.about.com/od/tangrams/Tangram_Puzzles.htm http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/puzzles/index.htm Don't forget to check with your local library for books including tangrams. You may need to ask the librarian for assistance. I seem to remember that there are at least a couple picture books that incorporate tangram puzzles, which they may enjoy.

amsunshine Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thank you! Also, the library is a fantastic idea -- I'll definitely check there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Today's Homeschool Freebie of the Day has a link that helps you make your own tangrams, as well as a small PDF booklet on tangrams to download: link. The link will expire at the end of the day, so if you want it you should check it out sooner rather than later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I knew there were at least a couple books! Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert Three Pigs, One Wolf and Seven Magic Shapes by Grace Maccarone (Scholastic Math reader) We've read Grandfather Tang, but not the other one. I also googled "free tangram patterns" and found http://www.creativeimaginations.net/PAGE4.html http://abcteach.com/directory/basics/math/geometry/tangrams/#11192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenNC Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Many thanks, KarenNC! Great sites -- I've found a lot of great patterns already. You're welcome. I had recently been researching this to use with my Girl Scout troop, so it helps that things were fresh in my memory :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TangramOnline Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Go to Florida Educational Technology Clearing House and search for "tangram". You'll find heaps of printables in various formats. You'll also find some printables at Tangram Online, as well as some online games. You might also find this youtube video interesting, it features some tangram fish. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I saw some free printouts on abcteach.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
