Have you heard of Tangram before? Tangram is an ancient chinese puzzle game with endless pattern formations! It is made up of 7 pieces and the word "Tangram" is also made up of seven letters! hehe! Such an interesting invention! :D haha! What's more is that there's no right or wrong in this game! It's all up to your creativity!

I only get to know about this "toy/game" recently! My colleague introduced this game to me, thanks a lot!! (: Kind of like it very much! I'm using it for my assignment for my play module! To prove that it is appropriate for children aged 6 and below, I get my cousin to help me to play this game! (: I'm impressed, she was able to construct designs which I didnt even know how to construct out of the 7 pieces of puzzle! (; Clapssss!!! Never underestimate a child! 

hehe! i also tried playing with it and during my first attempt, i constructed a kangaroo! After a while, when i tried to construct a kangaroo again, i couldn't do it -.-"!

Children nowadays are too tied down by assignments, workbooks, worksheets! But the truth is that, children learn through play, meaningful play! It is through meaning play that they understand mathematical concepts by themselves and this will build a strong foundation in their primary school education! haha! no wonder children or even adults Hate Math in sch, because mathematical concepts are ''drilled into their brain by force"!

It's taking too long for the tangram to be delivered to my house and thus, i tried making it by myself! phew! luckily, I managed to do it!

It's a fish!
It's a bat!



It's a rooster! all made by her!
