The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat polygons, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective is to replicate a pattern (given only an outline) generally found in a puzzle book using all seven pieces without overlap.
Little is known for certain about the origin of the Tangram. Even the origin of the name is obscure! The earliest known book was published in 1813 in China, but the publication date is not reliable. Nevertheless, one Tangram-like puzzle first appeared in a book published in Japan in 1742. Scholars assume that Tangram began in the Orient before the 18th century and then spread westward. However, by 1817, Tangram publications had appeared in the United States and in Europe.
Rearrangement puzzle roots can be traced back to the 3rd century BC. Back in those days, Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, designed a Tangram-like puzzle called Loculus Archimedis or Ostomachion. Toward the end of the 19th century, Friedrich Ad. Richter, a German industrialist, began to manufacture stone versions of Tangram along with other dissection puzzles under the name of ‘The Anchor Puzzle’ (Anker). The Anchor puzzles were so successful that over 30 new designs of puzzle sets followed.
