What is a tangram?
+ info
The origins of the game
The game is said to have come from China and was probably invented during the Song dynasty. It seems that it was Captain M. Donnaldson who first brought the Tangram to America on his ship in 1815.
The Tangram also arrived in England, and then spread to the rest of Eorpe. At the beginning of the 19th century, many of these games were still exported directly from China, made from different materials ranging from glass to wood to turtle shells..
In Germany, the Tangram became popular with toy brand Richter, who made pieces using stone and mud.
The Tangram game is highly recommended for children from the ages of 3-4 because it has lots of developmental benefits.
Did you know that the Chinese people have dubbed it the "game of wisdom"?
The Tangram is an ancient Chinese game that improves the intellectual performance of the user, whether they are an adult or child

The tangram game
The Tangram consists of 7 geometric pieces called 'tans'. It has a square, a diamond, and 5 triangles - two large, two small, and one medium sized triangle.
The objective of the game is to form specific shapes with the pieces without overlapping them.

HOW DO
YOU PLAY TANGRAM?
All 7 pieces of the Tangram must always be used - they cannot be overlapped or left out. For younger children, there are molds or templates with the outline of each figure which makes it easier for them to finish the task.
When you want to increase the difficulty, only the outline of the figure is displayed, so the child must find the ideal way to arrange the pieces. However, you can also ask a child to form a figure freely to stimulate their creativity.
THE TANGRAM
The Tangram is the perfect choice to have a good time with your little ones. What are you waiting for? Teach them how to play!
Have fun!

STIMULATES ANALYTICAL THINKING
El Tangram es un juego divertido y motivante, por lo que es ideal para mejorar la capacidad de atención y la concentración de los niños. De hecho, para resolver algunas de las figuras más complejas el niño necesitará tiempo y tendrá que prestar atención a las diferentes formas.
El Tangram es un juego perfecto para estimular las capacidades espaciales de los niños. Dado que tienen que resolver acertijos geométricos, este juego desarrolla el pensamiento espacial ya que los niños se van familiarizando con las formas, la simetría y las rotaciones en el espacio.
Cada rompecabezas no solo estimula las habilidades espaciales sino también el análisis. Poco a poco, los niños dejan de probar las diferentes formas y comienzan a manipularlas mentalmente usando, anticipándose a los resultados finales, lo cual les permite desarrollar el pensamiento abstracto.
El Tangram es un juego ideal para fomentar la creatividad. De hecho, no siempre es necesario utilizar modelos para resolver los acertijos, el niño también puede jugar a crear sus propias figuras, lo cual le abre un universo prácticamente infinito de posibilidades que estimula la fantasía y la creatividad.
El Tangram también se puede utilizar para potenciar la memoria. Si se muestra la imagen a resolver y luego se retira, el niño tendrá que poner en marcha su memoria de trabajo para mantener la figura-objetivo activa en la mente e irla comparando con sus progresos.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TANGRAM AT HOME
Do you want to make your own Tangram using cardboard, a posterboard, or a shoebox?
You can make a Tangram by using a posterboard or strong square piece of cardboard that measures 5 inches on each side. Here's how:
- Draw the diagonals of the square
- On two sides, we'll make marks that divide them into 1.25 inches, 1.25 inches, and 2.5 inches.
- We'll connect these marks as shown in the video
- Erase the unnecessary lines
- Finally, cut the pieces.
