Tangram pictures are abstract pictures which may be used as stimuli in various fields of experimental psychology and are often used in the field of dialogue psychology. The present study provides the ...first norms for a set of 332 tangram pictures. These pictures were standardized on a set of variables classically used in the literature on cognitive processes, such as visual perception, language, and memory: name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, visual complexity, image variability, and age of acquisition. Furthermore, norms for concreteness were also provided owing to the influence of this variable on the processes involved in lexical production. Correlational analyses on all variables were performed on the data collected from French native speakers. This new set of standardized pictures constitutes a reliable database for researchers when they select tangram pictures. Given the abstract nature of tangram pictures, this paper also discusses the similarities and differences with the literature on line drawings, and highlights their value for dialogue psychology studies, for psycholinguistics studies, and for cognitive psychology in general.

Tangrams are a cheap, fun way to engage students of all ages, particularly relevant for students in upper primary school to engage in spatial awareness activities. However, this ancient mathematical ...activity can lead to frustrations for students and teachers alike if the students have not had much experience in manipulating pieces to make designated set pieces such as parallelograms or rectangles. Further, curriculum and school daytime constraints can mean opportunities to engage with deeper learning are not actualised. This paper suggests a developmental way to introduce tangrams in primary school classrooms, that leads into a deeper understanding of measurement and spatial knowledge, as well as algebra.

The Tangram is a puzzle in which seven tiles are arranged to make various shapes. Four families of tangram shapes have been mathematically defined and their members enumerated. This paper defines a ...fifth family, enumerates its members, explains its taxonomic relationship with the previously-defined families, and provides some interesting examples

This article describes how students can construct tangrams within a constraint-based geometric (CBG) environment, thereby learning much more than might be gained using scissors and cardboard, while ...at the same time learning to use the CBG system. The examples used here were constructed using a ClassPad 300 but might just as easily be developed using the Windows-based software package Geometry Expressions.

Hot Ideas may be reproduced for educational purposes provided the source is acknowledged. Hot Ideas for this edition provided by Kendall Robinson, a final year primary education student at the ...University of Sydney. Tangram is the name given to a geometric puzzle believed to have originated in China a long time ago. The puzzle pieces, called tans, are simple geometric shapes cut from a square. Tangram games can be played in many different ways, in groups or by individuals. A description is provided of games to engage students in some of the key aspects geometric thinking that appear in primary syllabus documents.

Offers a Tangram Teaching Guide that provides a five-step developmental sequence for teaching tangramming to young children. Includes teaching resources and a checklist summarizing the teaching ...sequence. Asserts that tangram experiences help children develop positive attitudes toward geometry, further their shape identification and classification skills, and foster an understanding of basic geometric concepts and relationships.
