Procedure
In this activity you will design and build a box from a flat sheet of transparency film. You will then use your glass box to help you sketch orthogonal projections of an object and create multi-view drawings. A box net is a flat pattern that will fold into a box. Study the following patterns. Some of the following patterns are cube nets, that is, if cut along the exterior lines and folded on the interior lines, the flat pattern can be transformed into a box in the form of a cube. Circle the flat patterns that are cube nets. Conclusion 1. Can you see a pattern to the nets that will fold into a box? Yes a. How many squares are included in a cube net? Why is this always the case? 1 Cube net has 20 cubes. It is always this case to match the size of the cubed figures. b. What else is true about the arrangement of the squares in a cube net? You can count the figure inside the cube net by the mini squares. There should be at least six unique cube nets. Sketch any cube nets missing in the step above |
