Nets of 3-D Shapes

三维图形的展开图

Description

Identify, draw, and interpret nets of common 3-D shapes — cubes, cuboids, triangular prisms, and square-based pyramids — by predicting which 3-D shape a given flat arrangement of faces will fold into, checking whether a net will close completely, and sketching a net from a description or 3-D model; understand the relationship between the number of faces and the structure of the net

Mastery Evidence
  • Draw the net of a cube, cuboid, or triangular prism and fold it mentally to identify which faces connect
  • Build a 3-D shape from its net and check that all faces, edges, and vertices match
  • Identify which of several given nets will fold into a specific 3-D shape and explain why the others won't
Assessment Prompt

If your child is given a flat T-shaped piece of card with six squares, can they tell you — before folding — that it makes a cube, and point out which square will become each face?
