Tangram game

Tangram game; It is a very old intelligence and attention game of Chinese origin. This game stands out with its both entertaining and educational aspects. Tangram consists of seven geometric pieces formed from a square shape. These 7 pieces; 2 large right triangles, 1 medium right triangle, 2 small right triangles, 1 square and 1 parallelogram. The aim is to create various shapes (animals, people, objects, letters, etc.) with these pieces. The aim of the Tangram game is to recreate the same appearance with a given shape (silhouette) using the pieces. All 7 pieces must be used in the game, the pieces must not be overlapped, the pieces must not be cut or divided, the pieces can be rotated or turned according to the selected shape. For example, the person is asked to create a cat figure with these 7 pieces in accordance with the rules.
