Subtopic : Nets of solids

Content Learning

Objectives:

Pupils should be able to: • draw the nets of cube and cuboid • identify the plane faces of cube and cuboid • explain the properties of the cube and cuboid

Teaching & Learning Activities Resources Summary

Tuning in (Introduction) Determine prior knowledge and prepare pupils

1. Teacher shows the pupils the two kinds of solids i.e Cube and Cuboid tissue box.

2. Ask the pupils: • What is the name of this 3-D solids. (Expected

answer will be a cube and a cuboid) • What are the shapes that made up of the 3-D

solids i.e cube & cuboid • How many faces are there in a cube/cuboid? • How many edges are there in a cube/cuboid?

3. Then ask pupils to explain to their partners in terms of faces, edges and shapes of the given solid of cube and cuboid

• Cube and cuboid

Finding out & Sorting out

(Lesson Development) Time to locate,

gather information, organise and process ideas.

1. Organise pupils in small groups of 4. Activity 1: Explore the nets of cube and cuboid

i. Teacher provides each group with six nets (with different coloured papers) of a cube/cuboid and asks the pupils to cut and fold the net into a solid.

ii. Let the pupils explore the nets by providing questions:

• What types of solid can be form from the given nets?

• Which colour net can be form into a cube/cuboid? • For those that cannot form, ask pupils to explain

why. (Possible answers: Faces overlapped) • Pupils present their finding

Activity 2: Drawing the nets of cube and cuboids

i. From the pupils finding, pupils are: • Provide with the grid papers • Ask to draw the variety types of

cube’s/cuboid’s net on the grid papers. (Remind pupils to draw with straight lines and measurements must be precise and are important because the sides must match perfectly, leaving no gaps.)

• Projector • visualizer • Graph Paper • Scissors • Visualizer

Identify the 6 planes faces of cube and cuboid Draw the net of cube and cuboid

Making Conclusions

Draw conclusion and

consolidate understanding

1. Pupils present their finding. 2. Teacher conclude that

a) There are more than one net of a cube/cuboid b) Both cube and cuboid have 6 faces and 12 edges.

Cube is made up of 6 equal squares. Cuboid have 6 quadrilaterals faces.

3. Provide more practice through answering worksheet on the net of cube and cuboid

Conclude that net of a cube/cuboid has more than one net

Go further (Enrichment)

Apply knowledge to

develop further understanding

Activity 3: Exploring more kinds of cube’s/cuboid’s net 1. Pupils are asked to:

• Draw as many nets of a cube/cuboid. • Cut and fold them to make a 3D cube/cuboid.

2. Provide more practice through star workbook and enrichment worksheet (PSR questions)

• Colored paper with grids

• Worksheets

Draw different nets of cube/cuboid

Evaluation (with respect to the Content Learning Objectives) What worked well? What would make it even better next time?
