Exploring Nets of 3D Shapes

This video tutorial introduces the concept of geometry nets, which are 2D shapes that can be folded to form 3D shapes. It explains how six squares can form a cube and how one square and four triangles can create a square-based pyramid. The video also challenges viewers to identify 3D shapes from given nets, confirming that a cone and a triangle-based pyramid can be formed. Finally, a worksheet is provided for practice.
