Working with Tangrams

Tangrams help students comprehend basic geometric ideas using engaging, mathematically rich situations. This new resource focuses on the key topics of number and geometry/measurement in early mathematics. As students work through the 60 engrossing activities, they describe their physical world using geometric ideas, visualize spatial relationships, and reason with shapes and their attributes. They explain their solutions and justify their conclusions while using manipulatives to support their reasoning. Each lesson includes teacher notes, blackline master, and links to current mathematical content and practice standards. 132 pages.
