Tangram puzzle sets invited children to explore shapes and spatial skills. Children rotate, flip and slide shapes to create silhouettes of objects, people, and animals. They are a fun way to a variety of math concepts.
This week I will be sharing with your five sets of tangrams. A new tangram set will appear Monday through Friday. It will be fun to stop by each day to get a new set to explore with your children.
Getting Your Set of Tangram Puzzles
Monday- STEM Ocean Tangram Puzzles Set
Tuesday- STEM Rabbit Tangram Puzzle Set
Wednesday – Panda STEM Tangram Puzzle Set
Thursday – St. Patrick’s Day Tangram Puzzles Challenge
Friday- STEM Bird Tangram Puzzles Set
Suggestions for Printing the Puzzles
- Print the puzzles out on cardstock. It is thicker and will make the piece and mats sturdier.
- Laminate the mats and pieces. Once again it will make them sturdier and last longer.
- The mats were designed to be printed out in color. While you can print them out in B/W, they will not look as great.
- Store bought tangram sets can be used with the mats.

Exploring the Puzzles
There are a number of ways you could share these puzzles with your children. Below you will find a list of ways that I came up with. You may come up with other great ideas. If you do please take a moment and share them on my Facebook page or in a comment below.
- You could place them in a center or put them out on the kitchen table for your children to explore one at a time.
- You could have them explore all of the puzzles in a set at the same time. Then they can decide which was the easiest and which was the hardest to do.
- You could put them during a week at school or home when you are exploring the theme of a set.
