Today, we have embarked on a tangram lesson. This is in-relation to our unit on shapes.
Manipulation of tangram will help enhance your child's
1) spatial visualisation
2) perception of space
3) creativity
From research, it has been found that "Tangrams help students develop mathematical concepts of fractions, spatial awareness, geometry, area, and perimeter" (Rigdon, D., et al., 2000, p. 304.305). Because tangrams involve physical manipulatives as well as virtual manipulatives (online tangram activities), this caters to a variety of learning styles.
Here is a tangram template for you to help your child to create his/her own tangram! Tangrams are also available at all major bookstores.
You can also let your child play this virtual tangram game from this link.
Have a great bonding time!
Regards,
Mdm Lee
