What are NETS of 3D Shapes?

A NET is a flat diagram of a solid figure (2 Dimensional drawing of a 3 Dimensional shape).




Using NETS to make 3D shapes is lots of fun for kids.

Students can create their own nets of different 3D shapes. They could use dot or grid paper.

Students could "unglue" a cereal or other small box to change its shape from 3D back to its original 2D shape.
