EZ Tangrams: Assessing Area, Perimeter, Vocabulary, and Mathematical Thinking

Description

These simple tangrams have only two pieces and are easy to create, yet they can be used to analyze and assess perimeter, area, and geometry shapes and relationships in engaging and enriching ways. This low-floor, high-ceiling task has multiple entry points and multiple extensions as it calls upon students to use mathematical structure.
