It explains how to cut out a complete set of seven pieces from the special envelope, store them in the provided pocket, and use them to draw new Tangram designs starting from a square or tracing a cover diagram. The text also introduces the origin of the name Tangram and notes how the seven simple pieces can form many different outlines, unlike a jigsaw.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/tangrams-puzzle-instructions-and-history/416249/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/tangrams-puzzle-instructions-and-history/416249.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aria","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How many Tangram pieces must be used to make each shape?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Use exactly one set at a time and use all seven pieces to make each shape.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the special envelope used for at the back of the book?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Cut out the envelope, glue it back into the book on the special tab, and use it to store the Tangram pieces until needed.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Where does the name “Tangram” come from?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The name is linked to “Tang,” the word for Chinese in parts of China during the Tang Dynasty, and “gram,” meaning something written such as in a telegram or diagram.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},416249,1791560648,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},2336464648322,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/2200025388227c56fec?_k=1778556882303663488","# TANGRAMS\n\nJON MILLINGTON  \nAt the centre of this book you will findsome card Tangram pieces to cut out.They come in two colours and twosizes.But remember!
