Nets
Recognise solids and their 2D representations, draw representations and identify the solids formed by nets.
Your child learns to see a solid in a flat drawing. They name cubes, cuboids, prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones from their faces, count faces, edges and vertices in runs, draw cubes and cuboids on the isometric grid, and decide whether a net folds into a solid, including which faces of a cube end up opposite each other.

About this chapter
These Primary 4 solids and nets questions connect flat drawings with three-dimensional objects. Your child names solids from their features, draws representations and reasons about how faces join when a net folds. The chapter includes cubes, cuboids, prisms and pyramids, with cones and cylinders also included in recognising solid representations. Mixed practice brings the different views together.
Practise by question type: naming solids, isometric drawing, nets of solids and p4 solids and nets revision.

New to nets, or revising for a test? A short explanation first, then five short steps where solids turn and nets fold up in front of you, worked examples, and a quick check that points to the right practice.
