World of Tan

Welcome to the world of Granma T, who owns a removals business in China.  Here you will find a series of stories relating to Granma T, her grandchildren and colleagues, each one accompanied by one or more interactive tangrams.  Join them on their adventures and enjoy creating different pictures from the seven tangram pieces.
