This packet contains the worksheets and assessments I created for my fifth grade geometry unit. Included are two versions of the assessment, two practice pages and centimeter graph paper to create nets of each prism. Answer Keys begin on page 9.
Many of my students could quickly visualize the parts from just the measurements. Some students need to build the practice prisms with cubes. I did have my students draw nets at the beginning of the unit so they could understand the concept of surface area.
Students also draw nets for real boxes by measuring carefully and trying to create a series of connected rectangles that match the surface area of each side.
