Exploring Nets of 3D Shapes

This video tutorial introduces the concept of geometry nets, which are 2D shapes that can be folded to form 3D shapes. It explains how six squares can form a cube and how one square and four triangles can create a square-based pyramid. The video also challenges viewers to identify 3D shapes from given nets, confirming that a cone and a triangle-based pyramid can be formed. Finally, a worksheet is provided for practice.

• Four squares

• Six squares

• Three rectangles

• Five triangles

Which combination of shapes forms a square-based pyramid?

• One square and four triangles

• Two squares and two triangles

• One square and six triangles

• Three squares and three triangles

What 3D shape can be formed using a net consisting of one circle and one rectangle?

• Cube

• Cylinder

• Cone

• Sphere

Which 3D shape is formed from a net of one square and four triangles?
