It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled
"Nets and Skeletons: Prisms and Pyramids" designed for
Grade 4–5 students. The worksheet has two main sections:
---
🔷 Section 1: "Which Object? 1"
Objective: Match a given
net (a 2D layout that folds into a 3D shape) to the correct
3D object.
####
✔ How to Solve:
- A
net is a flat pattern that can be folded to form a solid figure.
- You need to visualize how the flat net folds into a 3D shape.
- For example:
- A net with a square base and four triangles attached to each side →
Square pyramid
- A net with six squares arranged in a cross →
Cube
- A net with two rectangles and four rectangles connected on the sides →
Rectangular prism
👉 In this section, for each row, you are shown a net on the left and several 3D shapes on the right. You must
circle the 3D object that matches the net.
---
🔷 Section 2: "Will It Work? 1"
Objective: Determine if a student’s attempt at creating a net will successfully fold into the intended 3D shape.
####
✔ How to Solve:
- Students try to design their own nets to make objects (like pyramids or prisms).
- You examine whether the net they drew will actually fold into the desired shape.
- Ask yourself:
- Are all faces present?
- Are they arranged so that they can fold together without overlapping?
- Is there only one face missing or misaligned?
👉 For each row:
1.
"Trying to Make": The target 3D shape (e.g., triangular pyramid)
2.
"The Net They Made": The student's drawing
3.
"Will it work?": Check “Yes” or “No”
> ⚠️ Common mistakes:
> - Missing faces
> - Faces placed too far apart to connect
> - Overlapping faces when folded

🧠 Tips for Students:
- Practice folding paper nets to understand how they work.
- Remember: A
pyramid has one base and triangular faces meeting at a point.
- A
prism has two identical bases and rectangular sides.

🇨🇦 Grade Level & Context:
This worksheet aligns with
Canadian Grade 4–5 math curriculum, focusing on:
- Geometry
- Spatial reasoning
- Understanding 3D shapes through their nets and skeletons
---
📌 Summary of What to Do:
1.
Match nets to 3D shapes by visualizing folding.
2.
Evaluate nets to see if they are valid (will fold properly).
3. Use logical thinking and spatial awareness.
If you'd like, I can walk you through solving specific rows from the worksheet! Just let me know which ones you’d like help with.
