                      ‘Shapes in a Box’ 3D Nets for classes VI – VIII

A geometry net is a 2-dimensional shape that can be folded to form a 3-dimensional shape or a solid. Nets are helpful when we need to find the surface area of the solids.

An activity was conducted for the students of classes VI-VIII to make them understand the concepts related to the shape and sizes of various solids and how to make use of this information in finding the area and volume of the solids

The students performed this activity on 9 February, 2022- \'Shapes in Boxes\'. 3D Nets -under the guidance of their subject teacher- Mrs. Shiji Shinu. The students made sure that the solid and the net have the same number of faces and that the shapes of the faces of the solid match the shapes of the corresponding faces in the net.

They visualized how the net is to be folded to form the solid and made sure that all the sides fit together properly.

It was altogether a fun and informative activity.
