Tangrams help students comprehend basic geometric ideas while supporting number sense development in engaging, mathematically rich situations. As students work through the 60 engaging activities in this book, they describe their physical world using geometric ideas, visualize spatial relationships, and reason with shapes and their attributes. They explain their solutions and justify their conclusions while using manipulatives to support their reasoning. Each lesson includes teacher notes, blackline master, and links to current mathematical content and practice standards.
