I will solve this "Match the Nets" worksheet by identifying each 2D net and matching it to its corresponding 3D shape from the provided list.
Here is my step-by-step solution:
Step 1: Analyze the first row of nets.
-
Net 1 (Top Left): This net consists of a sector of a circle (a curved shape) attached to a full circle. When folded, the sector forms the curved surface of a cone, and the circle becomes the base. This is the net for a
Cone.
-
Net 2 (Top Middle): This net is made of six rectangles arranged in a cross-like pattern. This is a classic net for a
Cuboid (a rectangular prism).
-
Net 3 (Top Right): This net has a central hexagon with six squares attached to each of its sides. When folded, the hexagon becomes the base, and the squares form the sides, creating a
Hexagonal Prism.
Step 2: Analyze the second row of nets.
-
Net 4 (Middle Left): This net shows a rectangle with a circle on each of its shorter ends. The rectangle rolls up to form the curved surface of a cylinder, and the two circles become the top and bottom bases. This is the net for a
Cylinder.
-
Net 5 (Middle Middle): This net consists of six identical squares arranged in a cross. This is the most common net for a
Cube.
-
Net 6 (Middle Right): This net is a star-shaped figure composed of six triangles. When folded, these triangles meet at a single point above a hexagonal base (which is formed by the inner points of the star). This is the net for a
Hexagonal Pyramid.
Step 3: Analyze the third row of nets.
-
Net 7 (Bottom Left): This net has a square in the center with four triangles attached to each of its sides. When folded, the square becomes the base, and the four triangles meet at a point to form the pyramid's apex. This is the net for a
Square-based Pyramid.
-
Net 8 (Bottom Middle): This net features three rectangles in a row, with a triangle attached to the top and bottom of the middle rectangle. When folded, the three rectangles form the sides of a prism, and the two triangles become the triangular bases. This is the net for a
Triangular Prism.
-
Net 9 (Bottom Right): This net is a large triangle divided into four smaller, equal-sized triangles. When folded, the three outer triangles become the faces of a pyramid that meet at a single point, with the central triangle forming the base. This is the net for a
Tetrahedron.

Final Answer:
Based on the analysis, here is the correct labeling for each net:
-
Row 1:
- Net 1:
Cone
- Net 2:
Cuboid
- Net 3:
Hexagonal prism
-
Row 2:
- Net 4:
Cylinder
- Net 5:
Cube
- Net 6:
Hexagonal pyramid
-
Row 3:
- Net 7:
Square-based pyramid
- Net 8:
Triangular prism
- Net 9:
Tetrahedron
