Have fun with math with our Halloween tangrams math activity. A fun way to pair a favorite kids holiday with a great, hands-on math lesson. We really enjoyed creating halloween themed pictures using the simple shapes. It’s not quite as easy at it looks, but it definitely encourages kids to get thinking! Terrific STEM for Halloween!

HALLOWEEN TANGRAMS MATH ACTIVITY FOR KID’S STEM

Tangrams are a great math activity for kids of all ages!

Since we usually spend a lot of time using pumpkins for our activities, I thought it would be fun to try something a little different. I printed out this paper tangram printable and cut out several sets of colored tangrams for math play. I used metallic and glittery scrap book paper as well as foam sheets. Add paper and the pattern to our Halloween Tinker Kit!
