It is asking you to find the net that can be used to make the cube shown.
Let's practise
Which net would make this cube?
- Read the question and then read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- Visualise a cube. Consider each option. If you pin one square down, could you fold up the other squares to create a cube?
Show me
This works for nets A, C and D.
Net B will have two faces in the same position and one missing face.
- Now focus on the pattern on the cube.
What do you notice about the position of the shaded face and the face with the circle?
Show me
They are next to each other on faces that meet at an edge.
- Visualise cubes A, C and D again.
How are the circle and the shaded face positioned on each?
Show me
On cubes A and D they are on opposite faces. The faces do not meet at an edge.
On cube C they are next to each other. The faces meet at an edge.
- What is your answer?
Double check it.
