What You Need & How to Play

The only thing you need to play this game is the seven 

pieces of the tangram itself. Of course, a little patience and 

concentration won’t hurt either. 

The object of the puzzle is to use the game pieces to create a 

certain shape—usually people or animals. With this special 

tangram you’ll be making Po, Crane, Tigress, Viper, Mantis, 

and Monkey.   

The rules are just as simple: You have to use all seven pieces, 

without any of them overlapping, and they must all lay flat.

Sound easy? Think again! Although the tangram is made 

of simple shapes such as triangles and squares, certain 

combinations of these pieces can make many other geometric 

forms. What may look like a square could actually be two 

smaller triangles. 

Tips for Starting

Find a place for the two large triangles first—they will always 

make up half of any silhouette’s area. 

Next, work the pieces from largest to smallest. The small 

triangles will usually be the easiest to place within the puzzle. 

 

Tangram and Geometry

If you pay close attention, you might discover that the seven 

pieces of the tangram have special relationships to each other. 

For example:

The area of the large triangle is twice the area of the medium 

triangle, and the medium triangle is twice the area of the small 

triangle—which itself is half the size of the square piece!  

Don’t forget the geometric outcast, the rhomboid! His area is 

equal to that of the square’s. 

You may even notice that the seven pieces can be broken down 

to create 16 small triangles.

More Ways to Enjoy

Play as a family for a fun and educational activity.

Use as a tool for studying shapes, angles, and geometric 

patterns.
