Nets and Faces - Using Cubes (B) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.G.A.4
CCSS Description: Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Nets and Faces - Using Cubes (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Learners will draw the plans and elevations of 8 different 3D shapes whilst completing this worksheet. All of the 3D shapes are constructed out of cubes which aids pupils' understanding of what can be seen from each elevation and simplifies the concept. Further scaffolding is present as each shape is constructed by adding one extra cube on the previous image. This enables a chance for discussion around how adding the various cubes changes the plans and elevations that have already been drawn and provides additional support for learners who have difficulty in spatial reasoning.

There are another two worksheets in our series on plans and elevations of shapes made using cubes.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.

Frequently Asked Questions

This worksheet is designed for 6th grade students who are learning about spatial reasoning and 3D visualization. The use of cube-based shapes makes the concept of plans and elevations more concrete and accessible for students at this level. The progressive difficulty built into the worksheet helps support 6th graders as they develop these important spatial skills.
