Monday Math Literature Volume 46

If you missed last week's post about how I used Ten Flashing Fireflies to work on combinations of 10 with K-1 students, you can check it out here

This week, I want to show you a few old favorites and share a new free favorite app with you as well.  All of these are based around tangrams. I love using tangrams in the classroom and as math has become more and more standards based, I have found ways to incorporate them in other areas of the curriculum as well.  I love how some kids who struggle with other math concepts really excel with geometry tasks.  Tangrams are a must have in every classroom!

Have tangrams but no time to use them?  Check out some of these great resources!



This classic picture  book is a great way to introduce tangrams and to show how they can be used to make animals and other objects.
This is a great book for kids to read themselves!  Use it for guided reading, add it to book boxes or send it home!

Here is a great way to work on reading fluency and have a lot of fun with literacy and math!
The newest addition to my love of tangrams is a free app called TanZen Lite.  I have used this myself and have used it with students in grades 2-6.  It does have a few advertisements on it but I have not yet felt the need to upgrade to the paid version.  Take a look!

Here are some of the animals and shapes you can choose from!  There are 3 pages like this which gives you 45 different options.

You can build with one, two or three players

You can choose different music, turn hints on and off or go into master's mode

Rotating and moving the pieces is easy to figure out!
Do you know of any other tangram resources I should add to my repertoire?  Please respond in the comments below!
