        The 5-piece tangram                                                                            2       3

        It consists of 5 pieces: 3 triangles and 2 quadrilaterals. We can create                   1

        different interesting  figures using these five pieces. Some of the
        figures are illustrated below.                                                                    4

        The 7-piece tangram

        It consists of 7 pieces (flat shapes): 5 triangles and 2 quadrilaterals.
        We  can  create  different  interesting  figures  using  these  seven
        pieces. Some of the figures are illustrated below.

                                                   Exercise 8.5



          1. How many triangles do you find in 5-piece tangram?


          2. How many quadrilateral do you
              find in 7-piece tangram?


          3. Make  these  figures  by  using  a

              7-piece tangram.
