Tangram Fun!
One of
todays math centers uses one of my favourite classroom resources;
technology. The students are finishing up a geometry unit in math and have had
practice comparing and classifying two and three dimension shapes as well as
sorting them by their properties. This SMART Board activity uses 7 different
geometric shapes to make fun pictures and is available free online. This is
only one of many free learning games available on www.pbskids.org. In this center there is
always one student at the SMART Board, while the others are waiting they too
create the picture using live tangrams and discuss the each shapes properties.
Students love this activity and it is a fun culminating task for a units end.
It is also another way students create real life objects from shapes, recognize
transformations and identify angles and use shapes.
