4. Tangram Seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape (given only an outline or silhouette) using all seven pieces, which may not overlap. Yay!

5. Tangram Strengths: 1. Stimulates the mind. 2. Two sets available and can be used by 2 players. 3. Increases creativity, very open-ended and can be made into anything! 4. Self-explanatory game.

6. Opportunities: 1. Can be made into a timed game to increase the competitive atmosphere. The game can be made into a digital version by having atouch screen provided by parts of the tangram puzzle(tans), and they can be moved about (rotated) to fit into a workspace. To make it easier, an outline of the final figure can be provided to help with visualization.touch screentangram puzzle Yay!
