Opportunities:1. Can be made into a timed game to

increase the competitive atmosphere.The game can be made into a digital

version by having atouch screen provided by parts of the tangram puzzle(tans), and they can be moved about (rotated) to fit into a workspace. To make it easier, an outline of the final figure can be provided to help with visualization.
