Abstract
This introduction to the tiling properties of the Tangram focuses upon the property called Preciousness. It continues with examples of the unique way in which they can produce an infinite number of tiling patterns. It explains the iterative nature of the process as applied to designs in two and three dimensions. Summaries of the Geometric properties and Artistic examples are included.
