Tangram puzzle template. Tangrams are traditional Chinese puzzles made up of seven geometric shapes (called "tans") that can be arranged to form various figures. The goal is to cut out the seven pieces from the large square and rearrange them into different shapes.
Let’s break this down:

🔍 Understanding the Tangram Template
The large square is divided into
seven distinct shapes:
1.
Two large right triangles
2.
One medium right triangle
3.
Two small right triangles
4.
One square
5.
One parallelogram
These are the classic seven pieces of a tangram set.

✔ How to Solve / Use This Puzzle
#### Step 1: Cut Out the Shapes
- Carefully cut along the lines to separate the seven pieces.
- You should end up with:
- 2 large triangles (each half of the square)
- 1 medium triangle
- 2 small triangles
- 1 square
- 1 parallelogram
#### Step 2: Reassemble the Pieces
- Use the seven pieces to create new shapes (like animals, people, objects, etc.).
- All pieces must be used in each creation.
- Pieces cannot overlap.
- You can rotate or flip pieces.

🧩 Example Challenge:
Try forming a
square again using all seven pieces — but not just by putting them back together. Try making:
- A
house
- A
cat
- A
bird
- Or even a
person
There are over
thousands of possible shapes you can make!
