Christmas / Nativity Scene - Tangram Patterns

Merry Christmas! This set with 20 different figures is about the Nativity Scene. Some puzzles are easy to solve, others can be quite challenging.

The puzzle pieces are larger than the shapes on the game cards as the pieces are not made to “fit” the shapes on the cards. The intention is to reproduce the tangram puzzle next to the game card.

Tangram Coloring Pages

These tangram coloring pages are a fun way for kids to practice geometry and pre-writing skills. The pages are also designed to inspire kids to be creative.

Geometry:

The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape using all seven pieces, which may not overlap. Manipulating the tans stimulates spatial awareness.

                     

Pre-writing:

Being able to control the pencil is an important pre-writing development. The background of these worksheets has been created to develop those fine motor skills required to control the pencil in the path of motions needed for writing.

Art:

All art comes from a point of inspiration. The subject and a few tracing lines on the background are  given to inspire your students. There is plenty of white space for them to personalize the worksheet by adding their own details and/or drawings.

***

Differentiation:

Included are 15 puzzles. Each puzzle has 2 options:

Easy - The outlines of each puzzle piece are shown

Hard - The outline of the tangram shape is shown

Puzzle pieces (tans):

The puzzles are suitable for 4-inch tangrams sets (printer settings: 100%). You can use the provided printable puzzle pieces or buy a plastic or wooden tangram set. I have purchased my tangram set on www.enasco.com (4 sets: red, green, yellow, blue for $ 2,20)

Extra activity:

Flip the parallelogram. The puzzles in this pack have been specifically selected for this assignment.

First students solve the puzzle, than they have to flip the parallelogram. Question: How many other tans do you need to slide, flip or turn to solve the puzzle again? A recording sheet is provided.

***

15 Tangram Puzzles included (paper size = letter): 
Airplane; Bird feeder; Butterfly; Cat; Christmas tree; Flower; Haunted House; Heart; Mill; Pine tree; Rabbit; Rocket; Sailboat; Spider; Vase

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!
