Shapes and Nets

"I have a lot of fun playing with 'Shapes and Nets' and making all the different shapes!" Shapes and Nets is a very easy educational software for primary school children to use. 

Draw and colour 2D and 3D shapes with just a couple of mouse clicks, cuboids, cones, cylinders, prisms and polygons. Learn the names of 2D shapes and simple 3D shapes. Rotate 3D shapes and see how they look from different angles and see how they flatten into nets.

"Shapes & Nets is without a doubt a meaningful, well thought-out, well-written and easy to use software.

Thank you."

2D and 3D Shapes

Shapes are everywhere in the real world, many structures both natural and man-made comprise sets of 2D and 3D shapes. Take a look around and recognise how many cuboids, spheres, pyramids, prisms there are in the objects you see, touch and use everyday.

Shapes and Nets gives a practical application for traditional geometrical concepts, and helps to improve the ability to recognise, visualise, represent, and transform 2D and 3D shapes. Most of us take geometry for granted, but using Shapes and Nets will help children apply their spatial awareness and knowledge of the properties of shapes and space to the real world.

So how is this children's educational software going to help in school, what is Shapes and Nets?
