What is a tangram?

The origins of the game

The game is said to have come from China and was probably invented during the Song dynasty. It seems that it was Captain M. Donnaldson who first brought the Tangram to America on his ship in 1815. The Tangram also arrived in England, and then spread to the rest of Eorpe. At the beginning of the 19th century, many of these games were still exported directly from China, made from different materials ranging from glass to wood to turtle shells.. In Germany, the Tangram became popular with toy brand Richter, who made pieces using stone and mud.

The Tangram is an ancient Chinese game that improves the intellectual performance of the user, whether they are an adult or child

The Tangram consists of 7 geometric pieces called 'tans'. It has a square, a diamond, and 5 triangles - two large, two small, and one medium sized triangle. The objective of the game is to form specific shapes with the pieces without overlapping them.

HOW DO YOU PLAY TANGRAM?

All 7 pieces of the Tangram must always be used - they cannot be overlapped or left out. For younger children, there are molds or templates with the outline of each figure which makes it easier for them to finish the task. When you want to increase the difficulty, only the outline of the figure is displayed, so the child must find the ideal way to arrange the pieces. However, you can also ask a child to form a figure freely to stimulate their creativity.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TANGRAM AT HOME

Do you want to make your own Tangram using cardboard, a posterboard, or a shoebox? You can make a Tangram by using a posterboard or strong square piece of cardboard that measures 5 inches on each side. Here's how:

• Draw the diagonals of the square
• On two sides, we'll make marks that divide them into 1.25 inches, 1.25 inches, and 2.5 inches.
• We'll connect these marks as shown in the video
• Erase the unnecessary lines
• Finally, cut the pieces.
