Description:
Take Tangrams beyond traditional "cover
the shape" activities with
this 64-page blackline master book filled
with more than 40 problem-solving activities, teaching notes, and
extension ideas!
Problem-Solving and Visualization Skills:
Students can sharpen their problem-solving and spatial visualization
skills
with the geometric and fractional concepts on the activity pages.
Experience with tangrams help students sharpen spatial sense by teaching
them to recognize shapes in different positions and combination for
shapes.
The relationship among the tangram pieces and the decision of the
placement of tangram pieces to fill in an outline of silhouette is also
beneficial for students' conceptual development. Encourage students to
make as many geometric shapes as possible such as rectangles, pentagons,
and irregular hexagons. To help students enhance their visualization
skills, tangrams can be used to create designs and "pictures." Some
example below show a cat, a bird, a candle, a house, the letter E, and
the numeral 2. Begin with figures that contain interior lines, then
progress to outlines of figures, and finally to silhouettes of figures.
Geometry:
-
Congruence and similarity
-
Measurement and classification of
angles symmetry
-
Area with non-standard units of
measure
Fractions:
-
To name fractional parts of a region.
-
To name and represent unit and proper
fractions.
-
To add and subtract fractions.
-
To multiply and divide fractions.
-
To find perimeter and area using
standard units of measure.
Trangram activates are
designed to accomplish
spatial visualization skills. Specific goals are:
-
TO improve visual discrimination.
-
TO improve visual memory.
-
To improve eye-motor perception.
-
To develop spatial and proportional
reasoning skills.
-
To improve position-in-space
perception.
