| Tangram ~ Art Meets Science
The Tangram is no ordinary puzzle. Tangrams are a mentally
challenging exercise where art and mathematics meet.
Seven simple shapes nestled together form a simple square. But you'll
soon discover that these geometric shapes can be arranged and
rearranged to form people, animals, birds, boats & buildings. With a
bit of analytical thinking and visualization, you will be hooked
creating your own unique fun designs! The Tangram consists of only
seven pieces known as "tans". The tans can be arranged to form well
over 2000 shapes and that number will continue to increase as more
people discover the Tangram and create their own shapes. The Chinese
call Tangram the "Board of Wisdom". The Tangram has been used for
years in schools and classrooms to teach critical and mathematical
thinking. Medical practitioners recommend the Tangram for seniors to
stay mentally agile. See how many shapes you can create. A perfect
gift for children of all ages. Once you start you can’t stop. Each
set is hand cut from semiprecious stones that are silky smooth to the
touch and feel absolutely wonderful to hold. Instructions and
solutions included. The only set of its kind! Choose (A) Scenic Jasper or
