Nets resources

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.

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

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.

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

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 use three different views of a 3-dimensional shape to help them design a net and construct a model of a pyramid.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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