Prerequisite Knowledge:

• Basic understanding of 2 and 3 dimension
• Familiarity with the properties of triangle, square, pyramid and prism

Objectives:

• To visualise the solid from a given net; to be able to say if a solid can be formed from a given net
• To think in 3 dimensions while working in 2 dimensions
• To construct the different nets of a given solid

Materials required:

• Geoshapes: traingles, square, rectangle
• Flip chart papers, Blu Tack, markers

Procedure:

1. Use the provided geoshapes to form as many nets as possible of one of the following solids in 20 minutes: Cube,cuboid, triangular prism, square pyramid.
2. Present them on the flip chart.
3. Answer the following questions on the chart/share them verbally during the sharing:
   1. What are the strategies you have discovered to visualise the solids from the nets?
   2. Have you noticed any special guiding principles to decide if a solid could be formed from a particular net?
   3. Think of any other question(s) you will like to ask the rest.
