From the supplier: Quilting with tangrams is one interesting way of linking literature and geometry for elementary school students. Tangrams are geometric puzzles consisting of seven pieces that can be arranged to form different shapes,such as animals, people or other figures. Tangram designs and figures are quilting pieces that are ideal for use in the classroom, since they convey both geometric and storytelling ideas, thus helping develop communication and mathematical thinking at the same time.
