TANGRAM:
Ancient Chinese moving piece puzzle, consisting of 7 pieces made using 3 basic geometric shapes. There are two large, one medium and two small triangles, one square and one parallelogram.
We have been learning about shapes (2D) and sorting them by attributes.
Well I found a great website, that lets you manipulate the pieces by FLIPPING or TURNING them right on your computer screen. Once you figure out how to do that, try to create different shapes using just two pieces of the tangrams.
Can you make a square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapeziod?
Once you've done that, click on one of the puzzles at the bottom. Be prepared to be challenged, and stumped at times, but don't give up!

The Euwins are little creatures who live in a far away solar system. They lived a peaceful existence unit one day, out of nowhere, a massive tidal wave appeared and nearly washed away their entire city! In order to rebuild their city the Euwins need your help!
Craft a bridge, by clicking the green anchor point you would like to start from, and draw a bridge line to where you want the Bridgecraft piece to end. Don't forget - there is a size limit for each Bridgecraft piece of bridge! The Bridgecraft Euwins can walk on deck pieces. Bridgecraft Steel can strengthen a bridge and make it more sturdy, but is expensive to purchase. Bridgecraft Rope is a weaker tool for strengthening a bridge, but is inexpensive to purchase. Always be sure to keep track of your Bridgecraft budget after buying Bridgecraft materials! If you run out of money, you won't be able to build all the bridges the Euwins need!
GOOD LUCK!
