3D Solids and Nets

This resource consists of 19 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to: * name different solids * explore the cross sections of different solids leading to a definition of a prism * investigate polyhedral * draw two dimensional representations of three dimensional objects * explore the symmetry of three dimensional objects * state whether nets can folded in to a cube shape * calculate the shortest distance between the opposite corners of a cube when travelling along the faces of the cube. Students are asked to draw the net of a dice and design a shape sorter.
