Totally Tangrams! #1 – Animals!

Give your students a fun challenge in math centers, for homework, or in group activities! This tangram packet is all you need for a fun and challenging (and differentiated!) geometry activity in your classroom!

Students will be challenged to use the provided pieces (“tans”) to fit the fun animal (well, TANimal) puzzles!

What you’ll get:

Puzzles

• 10 fun animal puzzles: Rabbit, Cat, Dog, Giraffe, Elephant, Kangaroo, Horse, Whale, Squirrel, Shark

• You'll also get the same 10 animal puzzles listed above, but with the shape outlines provided. This is great for differentiation or for younger students!

• "Make Your Own" Page—print this page and have students create their own animal! He or she can then trace the outline and have other students solve the puzzle!

• Choose between color and black and white! (Psst! Want to print one to laminate for a fun open house game? Print the color puzzles, laminate them, and set them up at a fun math station!)

Tangram Pieces for Cutting Out!

• Color, Black, Outlined, or Spotted!
• (Please note that since the sizes of tangram sets teachers and parents may have will vary, the puzzles were not designed according to the dimensions of a particular physical set—the provided pieces to print and cut will fit perfectly. Just print, cut, and solve!)

Answer Key

Use the all-on-one-page answer key for quick checking, or use the full-size answers for students to check their own puzzles (without seeing the answers to the others!).

Files are provided as multipage PDFs for easy full-packet printing and also as individual pages if you’re looking to quickly print just a puzzle or two!

Enjoy!
