Nets of 3D Shapes

We had an interactive maths lesson this week exploring how 2D nets can be used to make 3D shapes. Some of the shapes we formed included: hexagonal prisms, cones, cubes, cylinders, and octahedrons. Visualising how nets are used can be a challenge, so getting hands on with this task was not only helpful but fun! Check out these resources to have fun with nets at home!
