  1. Making the Tangram

  2. Start by making a square piece of paper. To start making the square, fold one corner of a piece of paper over to the adjacent side.

  3. To finish making the square, cut off the small rectangle, forming a square.

  4. Fold the square piece of paper in half, then in half again (making a square that is divided into quarters). Repeat this step (resulting in a square divided into sixteenths). Unfold the paper.

  5. Draw lines along the red lines marked at the left. Cut along these lines.

  6. You will now have seven pieces: a small square, two small isosceles triangles, a medium-sized isosceles triangle, two large isosceles triangles, and a parallelogram.

  7. You can arrange these seven pieces into an incredible number of shapes, making animals, people, everyday objects, etc.

  8. On a piece of plain paper, use the tiles to create your own figure. • Trace your figure onto the paper, then trade papers with a friend. • See if your partner can use their tiles to recreate your figure within the outline. Create Your Own
