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.

I love this idea, but some of the sentence frames don't seem to make sense - "something common is very small," "someone who is dangerous lacks love," "something large is very enormous" (should be the other way around?), "a foot sleeps/rests in a person," "hot is an antonym for warm". Or is it me? I haven't used this sort of thing before!
Hello! I think you may be misunderstanding the process of writing bridge sentences. If the bridge sentence doesn't make sense, such as the examples you provided, then that is how you know the word pair doesn't match the key words.
First, I truly appreciate the work that went into this product. However, I am extremely disappointed that I wasted the money on this item. If there was a way to get my money back and return it, I would. To me, this is an unusable product, because it covers the exact same content every week. I thought it would vary throughout the year to expose learners to different grammatical concepts.
Now this was a good product to purchase
I think these skills are really tough for my 6th graders, I asked a question of the author but didn't receive an answer.
<p>Hi Gretchen. I never received your question. Did you email me? I would love to help in any way I can. Melissa info@teacherthrive.com</p>

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.
