Tangram Grid - Area & Fractions

This activity can be used as an extension of another freebie, but it can also be used as an independent lesson.

It contains a worksheet with a tangram puzzle on a grid. First students have to find the area of each puzzle piece by counting the number of squares. Then they have to find the fractional representation of the puzzle pieces. Also included is an answer key.



Please feel free to check out my YouTube-channel for an accompanying video:

Tan-O'-Lantern

For this assignment, the children have to use their imagination. As long as they stick to the modern rules of the Tangram game* and the end result resembles a face, they can’t go wrong.
 

First the children are shown 8 puzzles with Jack-o’-lantern faces (level: very easy). Then they have to cut out the puzzle pieces and try to create their own tangram face.
 

While playing with the puzzle pieces, the children practice their fine motor skills by using scissors and cutting out the shapes at the bottom of the worksheet to glue onto the pumpkin in the middle and spatial awareness plus transformations (translation/slide, reflection/flip, rotation/turn) by creating a new face.
 

This pack is great for centers / stations, early finishers and indoor recess. It can be used on it's own, but it is also suitable as an addition to one of my other Halloween tangram puzzle packs. You can find the ‘math mats & puzzle cards’ , ‘puzzle cards only’ and ‘PowerPoint’ packs in my store.
 

Tip: You can use the creations of the children to decorate real pumpkins.
 

*Use all seven pieces, they must lie flat and may not overlap.
 


Enjoy!

Tangram Domino

Traditionally, students are given a silhouette or an outline to solve a tangram puzzle. However in this case the traditional tangram game is mixed with the ‘matching element’ of the dominoes game.

Students are given tangram pieces with 7 question and 7 answers. They must match each question with the corresponding answer. After all questions and answers are matched, a tangram duck is formed.



The questions and answers are editable. You can enter any question / answer you like. Simply open the file Microsoft PowerPoint and click on the text boxes. The text boxes are already placed in the right position and direction.

Included are:

- Instructions on how to edit the questions and answers.
- 1 Editable page with 3 strips of puzzle pieces for your students to cut out.
- 1 Editable page with a worksheet for your student to paste the pieces.
- 1 Page with the tangram solution.



You can buy the cut and paste worksheets here.

Polygons - Tangram Patterns


Geometry Set 02: Plane Shapes - Polygon and Non-polygon sort

How is a polygon different from other shapes? Your students will be asked to look at a variety of shapes and sort the polygons and not polygons. Then they will have to cut out the shapes and glue them onto two different templates: straight sides or curved sides. This will help them learn the identifying features of a polygon and how to recognize them when they see them.

Tangram; plane; shapes; 2D; parrot; turtle; horse; swan; duck; fish

Iedere leerlingen krijgt een setje werkbladen  bestaande uit 1 knipvel en 2 tangram werkbladen (1x veelhoeken + 1x niet veelhoeken) Eerst moeten de leerlingen de puzzelstukjes uitknippen en sorteren. Vervolgens kunnen ze de puzzelstukjes op de tangramfiguren plakken.

At the Circus - Tangram Patterns & Coördinate Graphing


Coördinatenstelsel / Assenstelsel  
 

Juggler / Magic / Lion / Rabbit / Tent
Met behulp van kleurpotloden of stiften en een kleurcode maken de leerlingen een tekening op een raster van 19x19 vakjes. Op de horizontale as heb ik letters gebruikt en op de verticale as nummers : (A,5).  Voor leerlingen die voor het eerst werken met een cartesisch coördinatenstelsel is dit minder verwarrend als de gebruikelijke notatie van het coördinatenpaar : (1,5).

Afbeeldingen: 6 - Tent, Goochelaar, Konijn, Leeuw, Leeuwenkop en Jonglerend meisje.

Niveaus: 5 - Oplopend in moeilijkheidsgraad van kleuren op nummer tot een afbeelding die volledig is opgebouwd uit coördinaten.

De titel van de werkbladen is in het Engels. De opdrachten zelf zijn niet taalgebonden.



Coordinate Graphing - At the Circus
  
The activities require students to use the grid code / coloring directions and crayons or markers to create various images on a 19x19 grid. I have used letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis to introduce young students to coordinate pairs without the confusion of the standard (h,v) format.
Pictures: 6 -
Circus tent, Magician, Rabbit in a magic hat, Lion, Lion head, Juggler.
Levels: 5 - From Color by number (color) to  Coordinate graphing with Coloring directions.

Alphabet Song with Sheet Music


Play Along & Karaoke PowerPoint Slide show

Leer het alfabet spelen op je blokfluit, xylofoon, piano of keyboard op een speelse manier met deze digibordles. De les bestaat uit een interactieve PowerPoint voorstelling bestaande uit 4 dia's met activiteiten en printbare bladmuziek.

Je kunt kiezen uit gekleurde muzieknoten of zwarte noten. Voor beiden geldt dat je eerst de toonladder leert en daarna het liedje.

Het liedje leren gaat heel makkelijk. Play along: Als je op de roze bloemen klikt hoor je de muziek. De eerste bloem speelt de muziek langzaam af. Als het je lukt om de muziek netjes mee te spelen, klik je op de tweede bloem. Nu gaat de muziek iets sneller. Als je ook die netjes mee kunt spelen, klik je op de derde bloem enz. 

Karaoke: Klik je op de rode bloemen, dan hoor je de karaoke versie. De eerste bloem heeft weer een langzaam tempo, de laatste heeft het gewenste uiteindelijke tempo.

Interactive PowerPoint




Language English:

This activity contains an interactive slide show. It’s  a fun way of learning to play the song on a recorder, piano or keyboard.
First play along with the embedded slow ‘play along music’ until you play the song perfectly. Then play the song a little bit faster until you play the song perfectly. And so on.

There are 4 ‘play along’-buttons and 4 ‘karaoke’- buttons, increasing in tempo, from very slow to performance speed. The long intro gives the students sufficient time to hold their instrument properly before they begin play.
