Explore and Create Polygons with Tangram Puzzle Pieces

Find pairs of polygons that are congruent. Color them the same color. Be careful! You can use a ruler to check You may have some polygons left over.

Island Conquer is a pirate-themed partner math game that involves plotting rectangular polygons on a coordinate grid and then finding the area or perimeter of those shapes The game includes two sets of directions, one for finding the area of the island, and the other for finding the perimeter. You may want to print the two sets of directions on different colors of paper to avoid confusion.

Label each polygon with its name. Then measure each inside angle. Finally, compare your angle measurements with those of your partner.

Students will mix around the room and stop to compare triangles. They will decide if the triangles are congruent, similar, or neither and will move to designated areas of the room based on their choices. Each variation of the activity is slightly different.
