Tangram

Product Code : SCL-ML-11970

Tangram (SKU SCL-ML-11970), listed as a tangram kit, gives a class four plastic seven-piece dissection puzzles, 28 pieces in total, and each set assembles into a 4-inch square. Maths teachers use it to explore shapes, area, angles and equivalent figures, while younger pupils rebuild outlines to train spatial reasoning. The kit is a factory product of Science Lab Supplies, manufactured at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India and delivered to schools, colleges, contractors and distributors.

Specifications

Four complete plastic tangrams make up the kit, each with the traditional seven pieces, so up to four learners or teams can work at once. Every assembled tangram is a square of 4 inches, about 10 cm, a handy size for desk work, and colours may vary between sets.

Applications and Experiments for the Tangram

Beyond puzzle play, the tangram is a compact geometry lab: its pieces show how one square divides into triangles, a square and a parallelogram, how different figures made from the same pieces keep the same area, and how angles of 45, 90 and 135 degrees combine. It suits primary and middle-school maths lab periods.

• Shape composition: forming squares, triangles and figures from the seven pieces.
• Area and fractions: working out what fraction of the whole square each piece covers.
• Angles: measuring and combining the corner angles of the pieces.
• Visual memory and perception: reproducing a silhouette from memory.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Tangram kit comprises four complete plastic tangram sets with seven geometric pieces in each, 28 pieces altogether; each set forms a 4-inch square. Colours may vary. Outline cards and worksheets are not part of the listing and can be prepared by the teacher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Tangram kit?
Four complete plastic tangram sets of seven pieces each, 28 pieces in all. Each set fits together into a 4-inch square, and colours may vary between sets.

How can a tangram be used to teach area?
Because every figure made from the same seven pieces covers the same area as the square, pupils see that shapes can look different yet be equal in area, and can work out each piece's fraction of the whole.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies makes the kit at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and handles every enquiry and quotation itself.

How does it differ from the Tangram Set listing?
Both listings describe four plastic seven-piece tangrams forming 4-inch squares. Quote either code; if you are unsure which to order, ask us to confirm before you place the order.
