How to draw a Tangram puzzle?

Materials you need:

 Ruler
 Pencil
 Felt-tip pen
 Eraser

Step 1 : Draw a 4 or 8 inch square with your felt-tip pen.

Step 2 : You need to draw a grid of smaller squares onto your current square .
So get your pencil out and draw a 1 inch grid in the 4 inch square (if you chose an
8 inch square then draw a 2 inch grid).
Step 3 : You now need to draw the lines that will mark out the edges of each
tangram piece .
These should be drawn darker than your grid lines. With the felt-tip pen, draw your
first line from the bottom left corner to the top right corner, effectively creating two
large triangles.

Step 4 : Create another triangle in the top left corner. Start from halfway down your
main piece on the left side and draw a diagonal line that meets the top of your
square in the middle .

Step 5 : Draw a diagonal line from the bottom right corner of the grid through the
centre of your first line and stop at your second line .

 
Step 6 : Your fourth line will join your first and second line together. Draw a
diagonal line from the point where your second line intersected the top edge. Draw
through one square to the point where it meets your first line. It should meet the
line at the bottom right corner of the grid square .
You should be able to see that you have drawn four clearly defined triangles and
one square .
 

Step 7 : Your last line should be drawn from the point where your second and third
lines meet (also the middle of your second line). Draw the line downwards on your
grid until it meets your first drawn line .
Now your tangram set is completed, you should see 5 clearly defined triangles, a
square and a parallelogram.

Step 8 : Rub out your lightly marked grid.

Make 6 figures using the tangram, and add the corresponding name
