Show menu

The tangram is based on the dissection of a square into seven pieces. Can you make other squares using some, not all, of the pieces? Can you make five different squares? What is the smallest square you can make? What is the largest?

You might find it helpful to print and cut out one of the tangrams on this sheet .
