Find the Nets Sheet 1: Identify and shade the correct net for each 3D shape.

Let's solve the problem step by step.

---

Task:

For each 3D shape on the left, identify and shade the correct net (a 2D layout that can be folded into the 3D shape) from the three options on the right.

We’ll go row by row.

---

Row 1: Cube

- 3D Shape: A cube (6 square faces).
- Nets:
- Option 1: Cross-shaped with 6 squares → ✔ This is a valid net for a cube.
- Option 2: Square in center with triangles on sides → ✘ This would make a pyramid.
- Option 3: Rectangle with circles on top and bottom → ✘ This is a cylinder net.

✔ Correct Net: Option 1

---

Row 2: Cylinder

- 3D Shape: A cylinder (2 circular bases and one curved rectangular side).
- Nets:
- Option 1: Sector of a circle + circle → ✘ This is a cone.
- Option 2: Rectangle with two circles on ends → ✔ This is the correct net for a cylinder.
- Option 3: Star-like shape with triangles → ✘ Not a cylinder.

✔ Correct Net: Option 2

Row 3: Rectangular Prism (Cuboid)

- 3D Shape: A box with 6 rectangular faces (not all equal).
- Nets:
- Option 1: Central rectangle with triangles on sides → ✘ This is a triangular prism.
- Option 2: Cross-shaped with 6 rectangles → ✔ This is a valid net for a cuboid.
- Option 3: Diamond shape with triangles → ✘ This is a square pyramid.

✔ Correct Net: Option 2

---

Row 4: Square Pyramid

- 3D Shape: A pyramid with a square base and 4 triangular faces.
- Nets:
- Option 1: Square with 4 triangles attached to each side → ✔ This is the correct net.
- Option 2: Cross-shaped with rectangles → ✘ That’s a cube or prism.
- Option 3: Rectangle with triangles on sides → ✘ This looks like a triangular prism.

✔ Correct Net: Option 1

---

Row 5: Triangular Prism

- 3D Shape: Two triangular bases and 3 rectangular sides.
- Nets:
- Option 1: Pentagon in center with 5 rectangles → ✘ This is a pentagonal prism.
- Option 2: Two triangles connected by 3 rectangles → ✔ Yes! This is the correct net for a triangular prism.
- Option 3: Square with 4 triangles → ✘ That’s a square pyramid.

✔ Correct Net: Option 2

---

✔ Final Answer Summary:

| Row | 3D Shape | Correct Net (Column) |
|-----|--------------------|------------------------|
| 1 | Cube | Column 1 |
| 2 | Cylinder | Column 2 |
| 3 | Rectangular Prism | Column 2 |
| 4 | Square Pyramid | Column 1 |
| 5 | Triangular Prism | Column 2 |

🔍 How to Shade:

On the worksheet, you should shade the correct net in each row.

So, shade:
- Row 1: First net (cross-shaped)
- Row 2: Second net (rectangle with two circles)
- Row 3: Second net (rectangular cross)
- Row 4: First net (square with 4 triangles)
- Row 5: Second net (two triangles with 3 rectangles)
