connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning

• designing and constructing exact nets for packaging particular-shaped items or collections of interest, taking into consideration how the faces will be joined and how the package will be opened
• visualising folding some possible nets for a range of prisms and pyramids, predicting which will work and which cannot work, and justifying their choices, based on the number, size and position of particular shapes in each diagram
• sketching nets for a range of prisms and pyramids considering the number, shape and placement of the faces, and testing by cutting and folding
• investigating objects designed and developed by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples, such as those used in fish traps and instructive toys, identifying the shape and relative position of each face to determine the net of the object
