Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: 3D shapes and their nets activity
Let’s go through each shape one by one and check if the information given is correct.

---

1. Cube

- 3D shape shown: a cube (all sides equal, 6 faces).
- Net shown: a cross made of 6 squares — this is a valid net for a cube.
- Description says: “6 squares” → Correct.
- Name: “Cube” → Correct.

✔️ This row is accurate.

---

2. Cylinder

- 3D shape shown: a cylinder (two circular ends, curved side).
- Net shown: one rectangle (for the curved surface) and two circles (for the top and bottom).
- Description says: “1 rectangle, 2 circles” → Correct.
- Name: “Cylinder” → Correct.

✔️ This row is accurate.

---

3. Triangular-based pyramid (tetrahedron)

- 3D shape shown: a pyramid with a triangular base and 3 triangular sides → total 4 triangular faces.
- Net shown: 4 triangles arranged so they can fold into a tetrahedron → Valid net.
- Description says: “4 triangles” → Correct.
- Name: “Triangular-based pyramid (tetrahedron)” → Correct. (A tetrahedron is a pyramid with a triangular base and 3 triangular sides — total 4 faces.)

✔️ This row is accurate.

---

4. Triangular prism

- 3D shape shown: a prism with two triangular bases and three rectangular sides.
- Net shown: two triangles (bases) and three rectangles (sides) → Valid net.
- Description says: “2 triangles, 3 rectangles” → Correct.
- Name: “Triangular prism” → Correct.

✔️ This row is accurate.

All rows in the table are correctly matched!

Final Answer:
All the shapes, their nets, face descriptions, and names are correctly matched in the table.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of nets of 3d shapes worksheet.
