  • Two piece tangram

    This is an investigation which was given to all our year 7 pupils as a one week extended homework task. The task links to a SSM module completed in class and is designed to encourage pupils to thing about the properties of shapes.

    Resources: Task sheet, level ladder, individual pieces of squared paper; I used origami paper to make it easier.

    Reflections: There are a number of similar tasks available; many of you will have seen the 3 piece tangram. We also used an extension task, attached.

    Responses: I have included a selection of student work ranging from level 3 to level 5
