How To Make Tangram Puzzle

About Tangram Puzzle.

To make your own tangram puzzle you will need:  pair of scissors, cutting knife, square piece of cardboard (up to you how big you want it, though 4"x4" would be easier for you to measure), graph paper (optional), pen or pencil, and ruler.

You can use graph paper to make it easier to draw the lines to cut, or you can draw the lines directly on your cardboard.

How to draw the lines:

1. draw diagonal to get two big triangles 2. draw line connecting middle points of the sides of one of the triangles 3. draw another diagonal, but stop at the little triangle hypotenuse 4. draw line parallel to diagonal to create little square 5. draw line parallel to the side to create parallelogram.  You are done.  Now you can cut on the lines. 

You can color your tans.

Now you are ready to play.  Have fun.
