Task goals
- Recognize and identify nets of common 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, pyramid, prism, cylinder, cone).
- Draw accurate nets of 3D shapes given the dimensions and properties of the shape.
- Visualize how a net folds into a 3D shape and identify corresponding faces, edges, and vertices.
- Determine whether a given 2D net can fold into a specific 3D shape.
- Apply understanding of nets to solve problems involving surface area and construction of 3D shapes.
