The Tangram Kit is a mathematics teaching aid used for exploring geometry, shape composition, spatial reasoning and problem-solving through hands-on arrangement activities. It is suitable for school classrooms, mathematics laboratories and guided learning sessions where students investigate how geometric pieces can be combined, rotated and repositioned to create different figures.
Product Description
The STEMAids Tangram Kit supports activity-based learning through geometric dissection and recomposition. A traditional tangram uses geometric pieces, known as tans, that can be rearranged to form squares, polygons, animals, objects and other silhouettes without overlapping the pieces.
Tangram activities help learners investigate shape properties, orientation, congruence, composition and decomposition. They can also support lessons involving area, symmetry and geometric transformations. Exact material, dimensions, colour arrangement and supplied component count for this STEMAids model should be confirmed before procurement. Explore related Mathematics School Lab Products.
Key Features
- Hands-on geometry: Lets students construct figures by combining and repositioning geometric shapes.
- Spatial reasoning: Develops awareness of position, orientation, rotation and relative size.
- Shape composition: Demonstrates how smaller geometric elements can combine to create larger figures.
- Problem-solving practice: Encourages learners to test arrangements systematically until a target shape is achieved.
- Geometry vocabulary: Supports discussion of triangles, quadrilaterals, angles, symmetry and boundaries.
- Multiple difficulty levels: Teachers can progress from guided shape copying to open-ended construction challenges.
- Reusable learning concept: Suitable for repeated individual, pair and small-group mathematics activities.
