Nets & Surface Area

Mrs. Ornes 6th Grade Mathematics Students

Purpose

Help you understand why nets are important and how they can be applied to real-life situations.

Objectives

Today, by the end of class you will be able to...

  1. Explain and demonstrate how a three-dimensional figure can be represented using a net made up of triangles and rectangles.
  2. Demonstrate and solve for the surface area using the net of the three-dimensional figure.

Directions

  1. Look through the following activity and explore the 8 different elements to learn about nets.
  2. Please take notes over the following material.
  3. We will discuss in groups and then as a class what we learned!
Why are nets important?
  • They help us visualize a 3D figure to see the faces, edges, and vertices.
  • They help us calculate the surface of a 3D figure in a convenient way.

Please click on the listening button to hear an explanation of finding the surface area of a 3D figure using a net.

Please watch this video about finding nets in real-life examples. After watching this video, please answer the following question in your notes. How do nets relate to the real-life example of packaging boxes?

Please answer these practice quiz questions.
