Third Graders' Ability to Associate Foldout Shapes with Polyhedra.
Bourgeois, Roger D.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v17 n3 p222-30 May 1986
Thirty-four third graders matched 14 foldout shapes (nets) with seven polyhedra. They had more success associating nets containing triangular regions than nets with only rectangular regions. It was easier to identify nets of pyramids and of a triangular prism when the lateral faces were distributed around the bases. (MNS)
