Grade 8 · Geometry
Views and Nets of 3D Objects
Every 3D object can be flattened into a net and described by its top, front, and side views. Students move between three representations — the solid itself, its two-dimensional views, and its net — building the spatial reasoning that underlies surface area, engineering drawings, and packaging design.
