The Tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat polygons, called tans, which are put together to form a square. The objective is to rearrange the tans to form a specific shape using all seven pieces, none overlapping.
The origins of the Tangram are shrouded in mystery, with the earliest known reference dating back to the Song Dynasty in China. Many stories speak of a sage who was tasked with delivering a precious tile to the Emperor. On his journey, the tile broke, and as he tried to reassemble it, the Tangram was born!
