Andrea's Tangram and Dissection Puzzle Pages
Welcome! This site is dedicated to tangrams and other dissection puzzles.

I've always been interested in tangrams and other dissections,
but it all began in earnest in 1998 (on the computer). 
It's so much fun to be able to record your discoveries and "new" figures. 
Not to mention creating a web page . . .

Follow me if you're interested in exploring the wonderful world
of puzzles and shapes . . .

Explore, and have fun!
I miss my helpers, Frosty and Rudi
  love, Andrea
