Book Description

November 30, 2004
Legend has it that one thousand years ago, a man dropped a porcelain tile. It broke into seven piecesfive triangles, one square, and one parallelogram. When he tried to reassemble the square, he discovered he could create hundreds of different images from just those seven pieces.

Tangram Magician brings this ancient Chinese puzzle to the children and grown-ups of today. As the work of the magician unfolds, the reader can make the designs using the seven puzzle pieces provided along with the book. The dense-foam puzzle comes in a reusable plastic storage box artfully inset into the diecut cover. And when the story is done, there are hours of additional fun creating your own designs.

Simple enough for a six-year-old, sophisticated enough for a sixty-year-old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great teaching tool, April 21, 2007
This review is from: Tangram Magician (Spiral-bound)
This is a fabulous tool for teaching kids to use tangrams! The book leaves room to have the kids use thier imagination to make their own tangrams. We have used this in our class and made our own tangram books from this one - the kids love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids, May 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tangram Magician (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book to show the versatile talent of Lisa Campbell Ernst. It quickly became a favorite of my students. It is another great way for students to use their math skills using manipulatives. I believe Lisa created this book with her husband.
