In this activity, we will be looking at nets of cuboids.
The net of a 3D solid is the shape that needs to be cut out of cardboard or paper to fold into the given shape.
A cuboid can have square and rectangular faces.
It always has six faces.
All of its angles are right angles.
Let's try an example question.
