Tangrams

12 February 2010 386 views One Comment

Tangrams are great for math. They help with spacial awareness and they’re fun.

We have a great book the kids like to use with the tangrams, “Grandfather Tang’s Story” by Ann Tompert.  It’s a great story with different puzzles through out.

You can find lots of different Tangram sets on the web. We are particularly fond of out wooden set, but I would love to have a travel set as well.

    Hi,

    What a wonderful picture of your children trying to solve tangram puzzles!

    We here at MonkeyPodGames also create tangram puzzles and other similar puzzles for children that are the same ages as yours. We believe in building up life skills for youth through puzzles and installing within them a sense of confidence and “feel good” attitude for completing a puzzle or brain teaser.

    I would love to be able to send you a couple of puzzles which you think would be great for your kids and once you have tried them, you could write a review of what you thought of them on your blog. We promise these puzzles will not only be great fun for your children and you but educational aswell.

    Our puzzles can be views at http://www.monkeypodgames.com and I can be reached at any time at adam@monkeypodgames.com

    Sincerely,

    Adam Lipert
