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.
