Solid Town
Step 1) Color each of the nets you are given – identify them with the corresponding number on this
sheet and fill in ALL the information – nothing can be left blank!
Step 2) Count the units on the figures to find the measurements of the shapes – you will need length,
width, height, radius, and slant height to find the surface area and volume of your 3-D figures.
Cut them out and tape them together to form their 3-D figures. Feel free to add more figures to
your town.
Step 3) Draw the figure next to the formula & shape information. Be sure to label the dimensions that
measured in Step 2.
Step 4) Give your solid town a name and/or theme. You can add streets and other attractions or
buildings (beaches, lakes, amusement parks, etc.). You will be given a piece of construction paper
to assemble your town. Be creative and have fun. You will be graded on creativity and correct
formulas/answers.
