Non-Verbal Reasoning 3D Aid- 11 plus Magnetic Cube Net CEM

Product Information

This resource is great for key stage 2 maths lessons on geometry, measurement and the nets of 3D shapes.

Using so-called "wallet hinges," a ring of six cubes can be rotated continuously (Wells 1975; Wells 1991, pp.218-219). This is a two-dimensional paper model net of a cube which can be folded and glued to build an amazing 3-D cube.It's no use having 5 or 6 squares in a line, because they will fold up with missing 'tops and bottoms'. The illustrations above show the cross sections obtained by cutting a unit cube centered at the origin with various planes. The following table summarizes When learning Geometry, we use nets of shapes to help us visualise the shapes we are trying to study. Iceberg A task is the tip of a learning iceberg. There is always more to a task than is recorded on the card.

Net -- a two-dimensional shape that can be folded into a three-dimensional figure is a net of that figure.

When the students have found and recorded all 11 (perhaps in a way which shows the 'longest line families'), there are still several possible investigations. The number of rectangles is equal to the number of sides of the polygon. One dimension of a rectangle is the length of the prism, the other is the side-length of the polygon cross-section. Whole Class Investigation Tasks are an invitation for two students to work like a mathematician. Tasks can also be modified to become whole class investigations which model how a mathematician works. If you enjoyed this Net of a Cube paper template, we have more resources to use either in the classroom or at home. This Cube Net paper template is great for KS2 maths lessons on geometry, measurement and the nets of 3D shapes.
