All About Nets
In today's activity we will be looking at the nets of cubes. There are 3 activities for you to complete:
1. Watch the video and have a go at the interactive game to check what you remember.
2. Have a go at transforming the nets of some shapes into solids. Use the different sliders to do different things with the shapes.
3. Answer some questions. Remember to use the interactive nets and shapes to help you.
When you finish, show the teacher your responses. Then, either print your page or email it to the teacher.
Ask for some help if you have any questions, and write any new words in your word bank.
