Transfer Test Tips – Nets of Cubes

What are nets of cubes in maths?

Nets of cubes refer to when the square faces of a cube are separated at the edges and laid out flat they make a two-dimensional figure called a net. 

What does my child need to know about Nets of Cubes?

Transfer Test Tips – Nets of Cubes come up regularly in the SEAG GL Transfer Tests. They are part of the 3 Dimensional Shape topic. Your child should try and memorise all the nets that form a cube.

Quite often the question will ask your child to identify a net that makes a cube from a group of nets, or it will ask them to identify a net that is not a cube from a group.

There are 11 cube nets to learn. Therefore, if they can master these they will ace any cube net question they come across.

• Learn the 3 groups of cube nets and how to identify them from the picture.
• Blow this info picture up and cut the cubes out. Stick them to the fridge, or the bedroom ceiling! Try to get the images of these nets into their heads so that when they come to tackling a question they have all the facts they need.
