INTRODUCTION

A net is a pattern made from two dimensional shape to form three dimensional shape.

 

THE NETS OF PRISM 

The net of a prism consists of six faces.

Focus prisms are triangular, square and rectangular prisms.

 

NET OF TRIANGULAR PRISM

The net of a triangular prism consists of two triangle with three squares or rectangles.

 

 

NET OF SQUARE PRISM 

The net of a square prism consists of six squares.

NET RECTANGULAR PRISM 

The net of a rectangular prism consists of two squares and four rectangles.

Rectangular prism is also as cuboid.

 

 

MAKING OF PRISM 

Materials Needed are cardboard, pencil, ruler and gum.

1. Draw the nets of cube and cuboid.

2. Use the nets to make cube and cuboid.

 

NET OF SQUARE PYRAMID

The net of a square pyramid consists of one square and four triangles.

 

 

NET OF TRIANGULAR PYRAMID

The net of a triangles pyramid consists of four triangles.

One of the triangle is a base.

 

NET OF RECTANGULAR BASE PYRAMIDS 

The net of a rectangular pyramid consists of one rectangle and four triangles.

 

MAKING OF PYRAMIDS 

Materials Needed are cardboard, pencil, ruler and gum.

 

1. Draw the nets of square, triangular and rectangular pyramids.

2. Use the nets to make square, triangular and rectangular pyramids.

 

NET OF A CONE 

 

NET OF A CYLINDER
