In this video, you're going to learn how to make two smaller squares. First, take your
two large triangles. Put them together to form a square. That's your first square. It
was that easy. Next, take your other five pieces. Take your medium triangle first and
put it with the point facing down. The point, as in the opposite of your hypotenuse. Next,
take one of your small triangles and put it's hypotenuse against the side of your medium
triangle. Take your square and line it up underneath the small triangle that you just
placed. Take your parallelogram and place one of it's longer sides on the side of the
medium triangle that's still exposed. Finally, take your last small triangle and place it
in the hole to make a square. Now, you have two small squares. This is another building
block of Tangram's. Try to practice it a few times and see if you can commit it to memory.
