1.) WOLF – In this Tangram, I did

apply the types of transformation of
shapes, specifically, rotation. It simply
means rotating an object about a fixed
point without changing its size or shape.
The two large triangles in the photo were
rotated by 80 degrees, the smaller ones
were also rotated by somehow 80 degrees.
The square by 30 degrees and the
parallelogram by almost 90 degrees
vertical. And that’s how I made a Wolf
Tangram.

2.) SHARK – The Shark

Tangram was one of the most
advanced puzzles out there. This
Tangram consists of all the types of
Transformations of shapes except
for dilation. In this puzzle we can
see that reflection is mostly used.
Reflection occurs when you flipped
an object across a line without
changing its size or shape.

3.) DOG – One of my favorite

Tangram to make, the dog Tangram.
This puzzle is just like the one that I
did in number 1, the “Wolf”. It has so
many similarities when it comes to
rotation of shapes. When it comes to
its tail, the parallelogram was also
rotated almost vertical slightly slanted.

4.) SWAN – The easiest out of

them all, the Swan puzzled Tangram.
This puzzle also consists the 7 shapes
that is needed to make a tangram. As
you can see the large pink triangle was
rotated counter-clockwise to form the
wings of the swan. The small blue
triangle represents its head and the
other dark blue large triangle makes up
most of the body of the swan.

5.) HOUSE – Even a five

years old child can solve this
Tangram. This is the most basic
tangram out of them all. By means
of “basic”, it is because this
 Tangram was always used in
different puzzle games. And also,
when we take it literally, a house
provides all the basic needs of a
human. The house was formed by
different size of triangles, square,
and also a piece of parallelogram.
The roof was formed by a large
sized triangle.

“Do not neglect to do GOOD and to SHARE what

you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to
GOD.”

Hebrews 13:16
