Curated OER
Geometric Shapes, Construction Perspective
Learners examine three different geometric solid shapes and their nets. They answer multiple choice, spatial awareness questions where they determine which view: front, top or either, the net represents.

Net (Triangular Prism)
In this net instructional activity, students use the pattern to create a triangular prism. Students cut out the pattern and fold on the dotted lines and paste it to make the solid figure.
Curated OER
Net (Rectangular Prism)
In this geometric net instructional activity, students cut out a net and fold it on the correct lines before pasting or taping it to make a three dimensional rectangular prism.
Curated OER
Prisms, Pyramids, and Nets
Students compare and contrast the characteristics of prisms and pyramids. In groups, they are given different colored construction paper to make rectanglar prisms. They identify the shapes of the faces and record the number of faces,...
