Abstract

Geometry not only about the concept, but also need other skills, such as visualizing, knowing various forms of shape, describing images, and the ability to recognize differences and similarities between flat shape. Contructivism learning is needed equipped with media to be able to make it easier for teachers and students to understand the geometry concept. Tangram is an educational game consisting of seven pieces of flat shape forms. The challenge in the game of tangram is to arrange the pieces into another form that is exemplified, such as people, houses, birds, cats or other forms. Based on the application of Tangram on seven volunteers in student’s community learning, the following results were obtained: aspects of feeling happy and diligent in learning high percentage (28.60%), aspects of willingness and interest in learning highest percentage (42.90%), aspects of intelligence and independence in learning, highest percentage (28.60%), and aspects of achievement in learning the highest percentage (43,90%). The data was obtained from seven volunteers through the Likert Scale 1–4. As for school-age student who studied with the assistance of volunteers obtained results: at the beginning the student were asked to arrange two-dimensional use two pieces of Tangram, they did not have difficulty. It was only after being asked to form flat wakes of three, four, and five pieces of Tangram that they had difficulty, especially parallelograms and trapezoids. This is because student lack real examples in everyday life for parallelograms and trapezoids.
