Nets and solids
Predict which faces meet before folding.
Draw a rectangular prism netUse paired faces and correct dimensions.
Build a triangular prismMatch each rectangle to a side of the triangular end.
Build a square pyramidDistinguish a triangular face from the square base.
Unroll a cylinderConnect circumference to rectangle width.
Unroll a coneConnect a sector arc to the cone base.
Count faces, edges and verticesSeparate the parts of a polyhedron.
Prism or pyramid?Classify solids using the bases.
Measurement
Count exposed faces systematically.
Volume by counting cubesLink layers of unit cubes to multiplication.
Same volume, different areaCompare packaging designs using equal capacity.
Find a missing box dimensionWork backwards from a surface-area total.
Scale length, area and volumeCompare what doubles and what does more than double.
Convert square and cubic unitsUse a grid to avoid applying the linear conversion blindly.
Surface area of an open boxCount the base and four sides only.
Measure a composite solidTrack hidden faces when joining two boxes.
