3D Shapes and Nets — Thinking in Three Dimensions

The IB MYP framework encourages students to explore spatial relationships through hands-on activities. 3D Shapes and Nets is a chapter that builds your ability to visualise how flat (2D) shapes fold up into solid (3D) objects.

A net is a flat pattern that can be folded into a 3D shape. Being able to identify which nets fold into a cube, which face ends up opposite which, and how to calculate the surface area from a net are skills that prepare you for advanced geometry and design.

This worksheet takes you from identifying basic 3D shapes all the way to working with nets of prisms and pyramids.

What Does This Worksheet Cover?

Aligned with the IB MYP Year 1 mathematics framework:

- Identifying 3D shapes — cubes, cuboids, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres
- Properties of 3D shapes — faces, edges, vertices
- Euler's formulaF+VE=2F + V - E = 2 for polyhedra
- Nets of shapes — drawing and identifying valid nets
- Matching nets to solids — which net folds into which shape
- Surface area from nets — calculating total surface area
- Cross-sections — what you see when you slice a 3D shape

| Level | Focus | Count |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Level 1 | Identify shapes, count faces/edges/vertices, match basic nets | 20 |
| Level 2 | Draw nets, verify Euler's formula, surface area of cubes and cuboids | 20 |
| Level 3 | Nets of prisms and pyramids, cross-sections, multi-step surface area | 20 |

Sample Questions

Level 1 — Warm Up

  1. A cube has ___ faces, ___ edges, and ___ vertices.
  2. Which of these is the net of a cube? (Four options shown with different cross-shaped patterns.)
  3. Name the 3D shape that has 1 circular face and 1 curved surface and comes to a point.

Level 2 — Build Confidence

  1. Draw the net of a cuboid with dimensions 55 cm ×\times 33 cm ×\times 22 cm. Label the dimensions on each face.
  2. Verify Euler's formula for a triangular prism: count faces, vertices, and edges.
  3. Find the surface area of a cube with side 44 cm using its net.

Level 3 — Push Yourself

  1. Draw the net of a square-based pyramid with base side 66 cm and slant height 55 cm. Find the total surface area.
  2. A cuboid is 1010 cm long, 66 cm wide, and 44 cm tall. If you cut it horizontally through the middle, what shape is the cross-section? What are its dimensions?
  3. Two different nets can fold into the same cube. If the number 11 is on top and 66 is on the bottom, which numbers are on the four sides?

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Not all cross-shaped patterns are cube nets. There are exactly 11 different nets that fold into a cube. Students often assume any arrangement of 6 squares works. Always check by mentally folding.

2. Forgetting to count all faces for surface area. A cuboid has 6 faces: top, bottom, front, back, left, right. Students often forget the top and bottom.

3. Confusing faces with edges. A face is a flat surface. An edge is where two faces meet. A vertex is where edges meet. Keep these definitions clear.

4. Mixing up prisms and pyramids. A prism has two identical parallel bases connected by rectangles. A pyramid has one base and triangular faces meeting at a point (apex).

5. Not using Euler's formula as a check. After counting faces, vertices, and edges, verify F+VE=2F + V - E = 2. If it does not equal 2, you miscounted something.
