This looks like an excellent resource to use as a way to develop students’ understanding of fractions.
I am going to use this with grade 5 for them to estimate the fractional proportion of each shape, then create a tangram picture. From this students estimate the proportion of the tangram used for the head, roof, etc of their construction.
