Creating and Understanding Tangram Puzzles

This video tutorial from HS Junction explains how to create a tangram puzzle. It begins with an introduction to tangrams, describing them as puzzles made from a square divided into seven shapes. The video then details the materials needed and the steps to fold and cut paper to create the tangram pieces: two large triangles, two small triangles, one square, one parallelogram, and one medium triangle.
