Tricky Tangrams!

This week, as part of our new Mathematics unit on 2D and 3D shapes, we have been looking at 'shapes making shapes'. We have explored how we can use a Tangram (a traditional Chinese puzzle divided into 7 pieces) to make pictures, by changing the orientation of the shapes cut out. A few children took me by complete surprise, and without any support whatsoever, recreated the Tangram's original outer shape!
