Can you build a barn, a horse stable and a house using only the seven tangram shapes? In this puzzle game for grades K-3, students slide and (in the 2-3 version) turn triangles, a square and a parallelogram to fit each outline, learning how small shapes join to make larger ones. Tangrams began in China, which makes this a fun way to celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage Month.

The Tangram Farm is an interactive K–3 geometry game built around the tangram, a 200-year-old Chinese puzzle that is one of the most beloved contributions of Asian mathematical tradition — making it a natural centerpiece for Asian Pacific Heritage Month classroom celebrations. Students assemble the 7 classic pieces into a barn, horse stable, and house, with K–1 players guided by color-coded outlines and grades 2–3 challenged to rotate pieces to the correct orientation, building the spatial reasoning and shape-composition skills at the heart of Georgia GSE and Common Core geometry standards. Designed for smartboards, tablets, and family play at home, the game includes background music, synthesized sound effects, a grade-band toggle, and a downloadable completion receipt for teacher assessment — all in a single file with no logins required.
