Matching Shapes to Nets
In this worksheet, student link nets to their corresponding 3D objects.
This sheet is part of a larger unit designed to help students identify and construct pyramids and prisms.
Learning goals
- We are learning to construct simple prisms and pyramids.
- We are learning to compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to prisms.

Extensions
If using these sheets as part of a shape unit, you can compare the students’ results between this sheet and the earlier “Navigating Nets” sheet to see if understanding has changed.
