How to Use Tangrams
There are a number of ways to use and play with tangrams. One of the simplest ways is to allow children to create their own varied complex shapes. Do be aware, however, that tangrams are generally treated as puzzles. A player is usually shown a target shape/design in an outline with the, "Seams," between the individual tans hidden/concealed. Then, a player works to recreate that displayed shape by using their seven pieces.
