Check every face and every matching edge

Dashed segments mark folds on polyhedra. A cylinder uses a rectangle whose wrapping edge equals the base circumference; a cone uses a sector whose arc equals its base circumference.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Connect the surfaces of a three-dimensional solid to a flat net.

Worked example

What belongs in a net of a closed cylinder?

One rectangle and two congruent circles.

The rectangle wraps around the curved surface. Its width equals the circumference of either circular base.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Account for every surface exactly once.
  • Use dashed lines for folds between flat faces.
  • These exercises show geometry nets; they do not include glue tabs for craft models.
