I have added a powerpoint (in downloads below) presentation showing shapes and answers for use over Zoom.

Instructions

Print out one of our Tangram templates - either in colour or black and white - onto cardstock. Cut out very carefully along the lines. Now use the seven pieces to make "pictures" - either inventing your own or using our printable Tangram puzzle pages as a challenge (you will find 10 puzzle pages below). Younger children can lay the Tangram pieces over the printed puzzle pages and move them around until they fit; older children can just use the printed page as guidance.
Competition format
Place sheets with shapes face down. They should each have a number written on the back.
When you call the number the team should turn over and they have 1 minute to make the shape with the Tangram pieces.
Use at least 5 shapes.
