Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Making 3D Shapes - CORE SPACE
I can see this is a worksheet showing 2D nets (flat patterns) that fold into 3D shapes. Let me identify what each net creates when folded:

Looking at the nets shown:

1. Octahedron - Made of 8 triangles
2. Rectangular Prism - Made of 6 rectangles
3. Cube - Made of 6 squares
4. Pyramid - Has a square base with 4 triangular sides
5. Hexagonal Prism - Has 2 hexagon bases and 6 rectangular sides
6. Trapezoidal Prism - Has 2 trapezoid bases and 4 rectangular sides
7. Parallelogram (bottom center) - This appears to be a flat shape, not a net for a 3D object

These are all nets (unfolded patterns) that can be cut out, folded along the lines, and assembled into their corresponding 3D geometric solids. Each net shows how the faces of the 3D shape connect to each other in a flat layout.

The purpose of these nets is to help visualize and construct three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional paper patterns. When you fold along the edges where the shapes meet and tape or glue them together, they form the complete 3D object.

Final Answer:
This worksheet displays seven different 2D nets that fold into 3D geometric shapes: an octahedron (8 triangular faces), a rectangular prism (6 rectangular faces), a cube (6 square faces), a pyramid (square base with 4 triangular faces), a hexagonal prism (2 hexagonal bases with 6 rectangular faces), a trapezoidal prism (2 trapezoid bases with 4 rectangular faces), and a parallelogram. These nets demonstrate how flat patterns can be folded to create three-dimensional objects.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of making 3d shapes.
