Description
Tangrams present your students with an engaging, hands-on way to develop the following skills:
•spatial reasoning
•critical thinking
•problem solving
•understanding of geometry concepts (congruence, similarity, symmetry, rotation, transformation, reflection, attributes of polygons, etc.)
These puzzles are perfect for math centers, fast-finishers, and cooperative learning. Your students will LOVE them!
Included in this resource:
•75 unique full-size Tangram puzzles that will perfectly fit your 4-inch* Tangram manipulatives
•75 smaller Tangram cards (identical to the full-size puzzles), for adding another element of difficulty
•printable 4-inch Tangram manipulatives in various colors and black and white
•an answer key for all 75 puzzles
* Most Tangram manipulatives are 4 inches, which means when you arrange the 7 shapes in to a square, each side of the square is 4 inches long. The full-size puzzles in this resources are designed to perfectly fit 4-inch Tangram sets. You can still use other size sets, but they will not match up perfectly. Some teachers prefer that the sizes do not match up, as this requires students to further engage spatial reasoning skills, which is why I have also included the smaller Tangram cards.

Great Set of Spiral Reviews
I started teaching at the beginning of February in a third grade classroom. I am filling a teacher's leave until the end of school. THe other third grade teachers gave me spiral review activity sheets to use during morning work for a few weeks. I noticed that they had their own set of spiral reviews and they were all a little different. I used them for 2 or 3 weeks and decided to look online for my own. Since I am a new teacher, I do not have alot of money and I am having to be really frugal. I am even considering trying to make my own, but just can't find the time. As I was lookingon TPT, I came across your Daily Math SPiral Review and I loved it! I like the way it is laid out and I started using them in my classroom. I love them and my students seem to understand the questions/problems on the worksheets. I hope to make my own set one day, but was glad to find yours on TPT.
Year-long review
While this covers standards for 6th grade ELA, I wish there is more variety in the types of questions. It is also difficult to review all of the concepts when some of them are taught later in the year.
Great resource
Loved the variety of activities (both guided and independent) to practice using dialogue in writing.
Lovely resource
This was a great resource to support deeper thinking for my Grade 5/6 book clubs! Highly recommend.
Kids love doing these!
These are a refreshing way to take notes that can become rather monotonous. There are tons of options which helps to be able to pick and choose what you need to focus on and the options are there. The only thing is that they took a long time to download and sort.

I purchased this product and will be using the larger version pages with my students. However, I don't see a page with a copy of the large tangram pieces that I can print and laminate for my students to use. I just see the small versions. Is that included somewhere and I'm just not seeing it? Thank you. G. Sustachek
Hi Gretchen,
I only include the 4-inch tangrams, since all of the cards are sized for them. You can still use your larger tangrams, they just won't line up perfectly with the cards.
This is missing the last 5 large 4 inch tangram frames, number 71 to 75.
Sorry about that! I am not sure how that happened. They have been added.
