Tangram
Silhouettes to cover with 3, 5 or all 7 tangram pieces, the pieces to cut out at the same size, and tetrominoes on squared paper.
Cut out the pieces and cover the silhouette with them. Start with three pieces making a square, a triangle or a parallelogram, then the five small pieces, then all seven for a cat, a fish, a boat, a house, a candle, the big square or the big triangle. The pieces are printed on the same page at exactly the size of the silhouettes, so they really fit. Show the lines between the pieces for an easier start, or only the outline. The tetromino page has a shape on squared paper to fill with four-square pieces, also printed to cut out. Every figure has its solution on the answer page.
