Description

These Math Forum lesson plans, reviewed for grades 3-5 by Illuminations, use tangrams to teach the concepts of "congruence" and "similarity" and to compute the areas of the different tangram pieces without using area formulas. The site also provides links to other tangram resources. The Math Forum site includes extensive collections of lesson plans, activities, and other resources for teaching math.
