Module Overview

In Module 1, students discovered that informal sketching cannot reliably communicate a 3D design. This module bridges that gap by exploring nets — the 2D shapes you get when you unfold a 3D object flat. Students predict, draw, cut, and verify nets of cube structures, discovering why a complete net must include every exposed face. That idea of completeness — that every face counts — sets up both the 3-view drawing standard in Module 3 and the surface area calculations in Module 4.
