Nets resources

In this practical task, students construct 3-dimensional shapes from nets (provided), and then draw them on a grid.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard cube to hold a tennis ball. They then cut out and construct the cube.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard box to hold 3 "chocolate bars" represented by hundreds blocks. They then cut out and construct the box.

This practical task requires students to construct open boxes from grid paper and calculate their volumes.

Students match three dimensional shapes with nets that could be folded to make them.

Students select what 3-dimensional shape will be made from each of two nets.

Students identify nets that can fold to make a cube and explain how they know.

Students match three dimensional shapes with nets that could be folded to make them.

Students use a net of a cube to identify opposite faces and what the cube would look like when constructed.

In this practical task, students cut out triangles and rectangles to make three different nets for a triangular prism.

Students identify which net, when folded, would look like the 3-dimensional shape shown.

In this practical task, students use three different views of a 3-dimensional shape to help them design a net and construct a model of a pyramid.

Students predict which 3-dimensional shapes nets will make and then fold nets to identify the shapes.

Students predict nets that fold to make a cube, then cut out and fold the nets to check their prediction.

Students identify which nets, from a range of options, could fold to make rectangular prisms.

Students identify which nets can be folded to make an open box shape.

Students identify which nets can be folded to make an open box shape.

For this NEMP task students match 3D objects and their nets.
