Photo Nets (3D)
The sky is the limit when printing custom 3-D shape templates from this site. Not only can you pick your shape and pattern, there is an option to upload an image for the different sides of the geometric shape. Let your learners have fun...
Curated OER
A Cone and Its Net
Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Nets (3D Models)
Let your learners pick and create a fun shape from this custom template. Shapes range from complex geometric figures to the more common cube and prism. Each page can be labeled with your personal directions. Additional printable listed...
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.

I've Seen That Shape Before
The objectives in the resource allow young scholars to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart....
Curated OER
A Rectangular Prism and Its Net
Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Nets and 3 Dimensional Figures
In this nets and 3 dimensional figures worksheet, 5th graders look at the 3D figure and the net and mark yes or no if it is an accurate representation.
Curated OER
Net of a figure
In this 3D figure instructional activity, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.
Curated OER
Net "Working"
Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Scientific Notation and Significant Figures
In this scientific notation activity, students practice calculations using scientific notation and being sure to have the correct number of significant figures. This activity has 17 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Connecting Formulas Related to Geometric Figures
Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.
Mathematics Assessment Project
Candle Box
Individuals draw a net for a hexagonal pyramid — with some stipulations. The net must contain the printed images so they appear correctly on the box, along with tabs to glue the box together.
