Solids
Read nets and views of solids, count exposed faces, and practise drawing on a grid.
Your child learns to answer solids questions by counting. They find the face opposite a given face on a cube net, work out how many cubes can be added or must be removed while two views stay the same, count the painted faces on glued unit cubes, and draw a side on a grid by counting squares across and up.

About this chapter
These Primary 6 solids questions cover nets of a cube, counting the painted faces of joined unit cubes, using front and side views to add or remove cubes, and drawing shapes exactly on a square or dot grid. Each page shows the reasoning step by step, with a worked example and a free question to try.
Practise by question type: drawing shapes on a grid questions, nets of a cube questions, painted cube questions and most cubes added without changing the views.
