- What 3 dimensional figure can be made by the following net?
- What 3 dimensional figure can be made by the following net?
- Draw a net that would create a rectangular prism.
- Draw a net that would make a triangular pyramid.
- Nicole cut open a cube shaped tissue box. How many of the faces will be squares?
- When you draw a net for a triangular prism, describe what shapes it will include.
- You are asked to make a rectangular pyramid. What shape will the base(s) be? What shape will the faces be? Draw the net.
- Look at the nets pictured. Can each of them be folded to create a 3 dimensional figure? If not, identify any that won’t work? Explain your answer.
Answer Key/Rubric
- Triangular prism
- Cube
- Nets can vary, but should be similar to:
- Nets can vary, but should be similar to:
- All 6 of the faces on a cube are a square.
- When you draw a net for a triangular prism it will have 2 triangles for the ends and 3 rectangles for the sides.
- The base of a rectangular pyramid is a rectangle. The faces will be triangles.
Nets may vary, but must include:
- One base that is a rectangle
- Four faces that are triangles
- Each triangle will have a base that is on one of the rectangle sides.
- Possible example :
- No, all of the nets in the problem can’t be folded to make a rectangular prism. Figure 2 will not work.
Students reasons might include, but are not limited to:
- When you fold on the edges all the rectangles will not meet.
- To make a rectangular prism the net must include opposite faces that are equal and parallel.
- Net 2 only has 2 sets of opposite faces that are equal.
