A triangle resting on one corner is still a triangle, and that jump is the whole thing. In Find the shapes you have to spot it camouflaged inside a scene. In tangram you have to rotate it until it fits. In connect the dots the figure is not even there: it only shows up once you draw it.
The order of difficulty is fairly clear. Connect the dots is the easiest way in, because the numbering gives you the order. Find the shapes and the jigsaw puzzle sit in the middle. Tangram is the hardest thing on the site: some figures take several tries.
A sensible order
- First: connect the dots — the numbers walk you through it.
- Then: find the shapes and shape puzzles.
- Last: tangram, starting with the few-piece figures.
Frequently asked questions
Which shapes come up?
Circle, square, triangle, rectangle, star and heart, depending on the game. Tangram uses the classic 7 pieces.
Is it useful for geometry in class?
Yes, this is one of the groups most often used on a projector. Nothing to install on the school computer.
Can you pick the difficulty?
Yes. Tangram and jigsaw have levels, and in connect the dots the drawings range from few to many dots.
