This is a great product to use in a math class as a way of introducing the concept of transformations (i.e., rotations, reflections, translations) since they are all used to reposition the objects to make a particular shape.
Also, it is just a fun activity that keeps the students engaged and learning something at the same time.
The only issue I had was that the product description does not say that it is cardboard/poster board material. I browsed many other tangrams, most of which were plastic, and I assumed that these would be as well (since I didn't read the description close enough). But once I adjusted my expectations this turned out great, and with so many being shipped in one packet, you can afford to do tangram activities many times with your class.
