Tangram: Shape Puzzle Master

Tangrams challenge you to arrange 7 pieces into specific shapes. Here's how to solve them.

The 7 Pieces

• 2 large triangles
• 1 medium triangle
• 2 small triangles
• 1 square
• 1 parallelogram

Solving Strategy

1. Identify the corners of the target shape
2. Triangles are most flexible — position them first
3. Use the square and parallelogram for larger areas
4. Adjust pieces to fit perfectly

Rotation Techniques

• Rotate triangles to fit angles
• The parallelogram often goes in the middle
• Look for corners — they hint at piece placement

Tips

• Start with recognizable shapes (circle, heart, letter)
• Work backwards from simple shapes to complex ones
• Practice improves spatial intuition dramatically
