3D Math Constructs Student Requirements
Return to the 3D Math Constructs Page
In groups of 2 or 3 you will be creating nets to build a ‘picture’ or scene. Some example scenes could be Disneyland, Medieval castle , Downtown Hong Kong etc. Your project must include the following components…
- Minimum of 6 composite solids
- All necessary measurements on nets
- Volume and surface area calculations for each composite solid
- A copy of each net (hand drawn or drawn on computer, not an internet printed copy!)
- Fully constructed scene in 3D
- Written explanation: describe your scene & the 3D shapes you used to construct it. Detail the formulas you used to find the calculations for your solids.
Your project will be due on Friday April 6th . You need to include the following things…
1. Group planning sheet
2. Drawn nets (for each solid)
3. Calculations for Volume and Surface Area
4. Constructed scene
5. Presentation to class about your scene

You are not restricted to paper for this assignment! You must show your nets on paper but your 3D shapes could be constructed out of other materials. Check your group-planning sheet with Mr. Arca ([email protected]) before you begin your building. Be creative! Have fun!
