Let's explore different 3D objects and their nets!

Nets of a cube

Net of a square based pyramid

Net of a rectangular prism

Net of a triangular prism

Net of a cylinder

Net of a hexagonal prism

Net of a dodecahedron

How many different nets of a cube can you make?

Consider the following for discussion with your classmates:

* What did you notice about different 3D objects and their nets? * What is a common feature of all nets of 3D objects? * How many different nets for a cube did you make? * What are the differences between the net of a cube and the net of a rectangular prism? * What are the differences between the net of a triangular prism and the net of a cube? * List the similarities and differences of 3D objects.
