Description
I have a confession: I keep a set of tangrams in my desk. When I was teaching, they were my go-to for early finishers and rainy days. I’ll never forget the smile on a student’s face when he finally solved the swan puzzle after three tries.
Why Tangrams are a 1,000-Year-Old Tool for Modern Learning
These ancient Chinese puzzles are still powerful learning tools today. While kids play, they build:
- Spatial Reasoning: Visualizing and moving shapes in the mind builds skills for math, science, and problem-solving.
- Math Concepts: A hands-on way to explore geometry.
- Problem-Solving & Perseverance: Teaches kids to try new approaches and keep going.
- Creativity: Kids can design their own creations after finishing the puzzles.

How to Be a Tangram Guide: 4 Tips for Success
Support your child’s learning by guiding, not solving for them:
