**This can also be used with polydron shapes  rather than the provided shape nets!** This product includes:  ‘Will it Make a Cube?’ Worksheet.  This page shows 7 different nets for a cube.  Next to each net, there are 2 questions that they will circle yes / no to answer. The questions are:  1. Will it be a cube?  ‘it’ being the given net – before cutting the shape nets out and folding them to see if they make a cube, students will answer this question to indicate whether or not they think that the given net will fold into a cube. 2. Is it a cube?  ‘it’ being the net after it has been cut out and folded – the shape net will either fold up into a cube, or it will fold up in a way that it does NOT make a cube.  Students will answer yes / no to indicate whether or not the net made a cube. 7 Cube Net Papers  Each shape net on the worksheet is provided alone on individual pages.  Students will cut out the shape nets AFTER making their prediction / guess for the first question – ‘Will it be a cube?’ (yes / no). Then, students will fold the given shape net and circle their answer for the second question AFTER folding – ‘Is it a cube?’ (yes / no).  Students will do this for all shapes until the worksheet is completed and all shapes have been folded.   This product can be used as: an independent activity.  a partner activity. a group activity. a whole class activity. How to Use:  Everyone will get the ‘Will it Make a Cube?’ Worksheet along with (either polydrons or) the 7 shape net papers.  Students will, one net at a time, look at the shape net and predict whether or not the net will fold into a cube, circle yes / no to indicate what they predict (yes – They think it will make the shape, no – they think it won’t make the shape).  It’s okay for the prediction to end up being wrong! After making their prediction, students will cut out the given shape net (or use polydrons to replicate the net as it is shown).  After the net is cut out, students will fold where edges of the shape meet (fold on the lines – if using polydrons, students will fold and snap the polydrons together at the edges).   The net will either fold up to create the shape successfully, or the net will not fold in a way that the shape is successfully made.   If the shape was successfully made, students will circle ‘yes’ to the second question ‘Is it a cube?’. If the shape was NOT successfully made, students will circle ‘no’ to the second question ‘Is it a cube?’.
