Nets allow young mathematicians to represent a three-dimensional solid in a two-dimensional space. The video describes the process of drawing the net of a geometric cylinder. 

In this lesson, you will compute the volume of a solid by using what you know about the nets of rectangular prisms. Login gives access to additional videos. [3:53]

This QuickTime movie provides an opportunity to identify more Polyhedra using Nets. As you watch and listen to the teacher and student interact it helps clarify the thinking behind applying this concept.
