Class 06 Studying the nets of 3D shapes

ACTIVITY – Understanding Elementary Shapes

Objective: 

Studying the nets of 3D shapes.

Materials Required:

 Some thick sheets of squared paper, scissors, sketch pen, etc.

Procedure:

Nets of Cubes 

Some nets are given below:

Draw each net on a squared paper and cut it out. Fold the net along its edges. In each case see if the net can be used to make a cube. If the resulting figure is a cube, determine which edge meets AB.
