STEP 3
Use the two small triangles to make a parallelogram.
Place the parallelogram above the blue square.
STEP 4
Add the yellow parallelogram. Place it below the blue square.
STEP 5
Finally, add the red triangle. Place it to the right of the large square.
Good job! See if you can make other shapes using tangrams.
Teacher: Use these questions to talk about the text. Call attention to the ordinal numbers. 1. What is the first thing to do? Why is it important to first get the things you need? 2. What do you need to do for the second step? 3. Why does the third step have to follow the second step? 4. What is the fourth step in the process? What does the girl see as the crayon resists the paint? Use these questions to discuss how to make a tangram rocket. Look at the seven tangram shapes. Which two shapes are not triangles? Which shape was made by putting together two large triangles? Which two shapes were put together to make a parallelogram just like the yellow one? What part of the rocket was made with the medium-sized red triangle?
