Making a Tangram Set
Tangrams have been a popular recreation in China. A tangram set can easily be made
from a piece of square cardboard or a piece of material that can be cut to
pieces. First, prepare a square piece of cardboard. Draw grid lines
on the cardboard as shown (black lines) so that you form an array of 4 by 4
squares as shown:
Then, draw the blue lines as shown above. Carefully
cut the board along the blue lines to form the seven pieces of the tangram
set. It should result in seven pieces consisting of five triangles, a
square, and a rhomboid.
Using the tangram set you have made, you can rearrange these seven simple
geometric pieces into extraordinary patterns, and enjoy hours of intriguing
puzzle challenges.
