Use Nets to Build Solid Figures
For this using nets to build solid figures practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.
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.
Mathed Up!
Nets, Plans, and Elevations
A dimensional resource teaches viewers to recognize 2-D views of 3-D objects and how to match nets with their 3-D figures. Individuals draw different views of three-dimensional objects including views from the front, side elevations and...
