Experimentation with forms
Description: Players use the 18 enclosed precision-cut geo-blocks to construct each of the 60 two dimensional shapes illustrated in the enclosed challenges book. Initial challenges are easy, however, as players progress in the game, the challenges become more sophisticated requiring rather creative thinking. A simple color coded progress indicator allows players to track their advancement. Tangramino is an all time classic toy that will captivate children and adults alike.
Using the Architect precision blocks, players attempt to replicate the Tangram models illustrated in the challenges book. Initially, the puzzles are illustrated on a scale of 1:1 allowing players to experiment on the puzzle surface itself. As players advance, the illustrated models are reduced, thereby introducing the concept of scale. In addition, players are required to use the pieces horizontally and vertically, exposing them intuitively to more advanced concepts in geometry. Tangramino offers creative play for players 6 years and over.
