This image displays a set of printable templates for creating 3D geometric shapes, designed to look like cute critters. The task is to "JUST CUT & FOLD!" as indicated by the text on the image.
The solution involves the following steps:
1.
Identify the Shapes: The image shows nets (2D patterns) for several 3D shapes: Rectangular Prism, Triangular Prism, Triangular Pyramid, Cylinder, and Cone.
2.
Cut Out the Nets: Carefully cut along the outer edges of each shape's net.
3.
Fold Along the Lines: Fold along the dotted lines that connect the different faces of each shape.
4.
Assemble the Shape: Use glue (as suggested by the "GLUE" labels on the tabs) to stick the tabs to the corresponding faces, assembling the 2D net into a 3D object.
5.
Fill in the Blanks (Optional): Each net has spaces to write "I AM A [shape name]", "BUILT BY [your name]", and to count the number of "FACES", "EDGES", and "CORNERS" (vertices) of the finished 3D shape.
By following these steps, you can create physical models of the 3D shapes shown.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of 3d shapes printables cutting out.
