3D shapes and their nets. Week beginning 02.02.25

Ah nets. Not the type that you catch crabs in, the type that cause you to scratch your head in despair during the 11+ maths exam. Basically, a net is a 3D shape folded out-  a pattern for a 3D shape if you will. You need to be able to match a net to its shape, an easy mark as long as you know the answer! These games should give you a little help, if in doubt, print the nets and have a 'crafternoon.'
