Class 2: Mathematics for Young Children – Tangram

Posted on | June 21, 2008 | 2 Comments

First of all, before I go futher, we had the chance to play with tangram. It’s was quite fun. This can be used to stimulate creative thinking of children and also learn the basic concept of geometry.

What is tangram?
Got this from wiki:

Tangram (Chinese: 七巧板; pinyin: qī qiǎo bǎn; literally “seven boards of skill”) is a dissection puzzle. It consists of seven pieces, called tans, which fit together to form a shape of some sort. The objective is to form a specific shape with seven pieces. The shape has to contain all the pieces, which may not overlap.


This is not easy. Even adults will not be able to solve some of the puzzles. We managed to solve some, these are some that we managed to solve hahaha…

If you would like to play, you can just go to Google and search for “tangram”, there are lots of them there.

By the way, I have lots of reading need to do for class 2. Would be summarising them when I’m done with my reading.
