Geometric nets provide many hours of fascinating fun! Each net represents the surface of a unique geometric shape. Some of the shapes were described as much as 2500 years ago.
A geometric net is a flat drawing that can be cut and folded into a three dimensional figure. For example, six identical squares can be made into a cube. This is because a cube has six sides, all of which are identical squares. Each of the drawings in this book can be cut and folded into a three dimensional geometric object.
This book contains 253 geometric nets, a few of which are:

As a professional math teacher, Mr. McAdams quickly realized that affordable tools for math literacy were sadly deficient. Committed to improving the math learning environment, he has spent many years developing math literacy tools such as this project book. This project book allows teachers and parents to copy geometric nets for their students to print and build.
