Mathematics
This Grade 6 mathematics worksheet helps students interpret nets of three-dimensional figures and connect each flat layout to the solid it forms. Through nine multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question, students identify nets for cubes, rectangular prisms, square pyramids, and triangular prisms, including selecting all valid nets for a triangular prism. The worksheet also reinforces three-dimensional figure vocabulary and counting skills. Students determine the number of faces, vertices, and edges on pyramids, prisms, and rectangular prisms, and identify a flat surface as a face. It is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key, making it useful for guided practice, independent work, or a quick check of students’ understanding of nets and solid figures.

This Grade 6 worksheet uses nine multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question to assess whether students can identify the solid represented by a net. Students analyze nets for cubes, rectangular prisms, square pyramids, and triangular prisms, then count faces, vertices, and edges on the resulting three-dimensional figures.
Introduce the worksheet by having students trace or visualize how each flat net folds into a solid, then ask them to name the figure before completing the questions. Use the multiple-select triangular-prism item to discuss why more than one net can form the same solid, and connect each net to the later questions about faces, vertices, and edges.
Students may identify a net by one familiar face without checking whether all faces can fold together to form the intended solid. They may also confuse faces, vertices, and edges when counting a pyramid or prism, or select only one valid option in the multiple-select question about triangular-prism nets.
Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for the net-identification and faces, vertices, and edges questions. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the net diagrams, answer choices, and counting questions easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options support access to the cube, prism, and pyramid tasks.
