Dice are cubes with dots on each face. Opposite faces of a die always have a total of seven dots on them.

Here are two nets to make dice (cubes); the numbers inserted in each square indicate
the number of dots in that box.

Insert suitable numbers in the blanks, remembering that the number on the
opposite faces should total to 7.

Can this be a net for a die?

Explain you answer

Here is an incomplete net for making a cube. Complete it in at least two different ways. Remember that a cube has six faces. How many are there in the net here? (Give two separate diagrams. If you like, you may use a squared sheet for easy manipulation.)

Match the nets with appropriate solids:

a		1
b		2
c		3
d		4

The dimensions of a cuboid are 5 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. Draw three different isometric sketches of this cuboid

Three cubes each with 2 cm edge are placed side by side to form a cuboid. Sketch an oblique or isometric sketch of this cuboid.

Make an oblique sketch for each one of the given isometric shapes:

Give an oblique sketch of the following:

1) A cuboid of dimensions 5 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. (Is your sketch unique?)

2) A cube with an edge 4 cm long.

Give an isometric sketch for the following:

1) A cuboid of dimensions 5 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. (Is your sketch unique?)

2) A cube with an edge 4 cm long.
