Tangrams
Product Code : JA-MLI-1869
Tangrams (SKU JA-MLI-1869) are a set of seven flat shapes that fit together to form a square and can be rearranged into many other figures. The set has five right triangles (two large, one medium and two small), one square and one parallelogram. Pupils use the tangram set to explore shape, area and congruence, and to build spatial reasoning by recreating outlines. JaincoLab makes tangrams for primary and middle school maths labs.
Specifications
The set has seven pieces: five right triangles in three sizes, one square and one parallelogram; the material and piece size are confirmed on the quotation.

- Recreating given outlines to build spatial reasoning
- Comparing the areas of the pieces
- Identifying right triangles, squares and parallelograms
- Showing that two small triangles cover the square
