3-D Shapes and Nets

 

3-D Shapes

Most 3-D shapes comprise some FACES, EDGES and VERTICES.

The FACES are the flat parts of the shape. Some FACES are curved.

The EDGES are like the 'lines' in a 3-D shape.

The VERTICES are the corners (the 'pointy' bits!).

 

Nets

A net is what you have when you open out a 3-D shape.

A net can be folded up to form a 3-D shape.
