ICT & Geometry






Room 23 have been working on making Tangrams. They had a session of exploring the puzzles and will now be moving into creating their own version using ICT, to include in their portfolios.

The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape (given only in outline or silhouette) using all seven pieces, which may not overlap.
