1. Identify the seven tangram pieces: two large right triangles, one medium right triangle, two small right triangles, one square, and one parallelogram.
2. Observe the target shapes in the image (bird, pinwheel, person, etc.) and note how they are composed of these seven pieces.
3. For each target shape, mentally or physically arrange the seven pieces to match its outline without overlapping.
4. Start with the largest pieces (the two big triangles) to form major structural parts like wings, body, or head.
5. Fill in remaining gaps with smaller pieces (medium triangle, small triangles, square, parallelogram).
6. Rotate and flip pieces as needed to fit the contours of the target shape.
7. Verify that all seven pieces are used exactly once per shape and that they fit together perfectly within the outline.
