3D from 2D: Folding Net Models

To craft their own net models, students should create a template of the unfolded model on graph paper, or using a ruler. They can then transfer the design to craft paper or cardboard by tracing, or marking edges and corners with pushpins. Students will then cut out their design and fold and assemble as necessary, using tape or hot glue to secure the pieces. Students can present designs, create dioramas as a group, or display final products with a caption.
