THE TANGRAM is one of the oldest types of dissection puzzles in the
world that originated from China. It traditionally requires the
participant to arrange seven pieces (or "tans") into a shape just by
looking at the given silhouette.
LEARN WHILE PLAYING The puzzles in this unique book are fresh,
innovative and compelling. The puzzle pieces are building units for
puzzles that boost mental dexterity with a variety of challenges from
various fields of recreational mathematics. Come on and play with
symmetry puzzles, cover-up puzzles and self-similarity puzzles to
increase your skill and mental acuity!
NEW PUZZLE DESIGNS To add variety and challenge, some of the puzzles
may not use all seven pieces of the Tangram set, while others may use
pieces from two or more sets.
The authors utilize a creative twist in this collection that is
different from classic Tangram puzzles: Most of the puzzles do not
allow connections between the pieces unless they share a common edge.
With this slight change to the rules, an entirely new universe of
Tangram puzzles and challenges is unleashed to delight the puzzle
solver!
