Tangrams

Towards the end of the term all students in the senior class, from Year 4 to Year 8 measured, drew and cut out (some needed a little help) their own tangram from recycled card.
Then the students set about making a few different shapes using the a handful different sized triangles, a square and a rhombus.
Next one of the students asked if he could research some more shapes on the computer.  Soon afterwards students such as Tom, Kate, and Gemma found a game where they could make different shapes using the tangram shapes, online.

Have a look at some of the shapes we made:
