Foldable 3D shapes, or math nets as they are sometimes called, are handy for teaching both children and teens geometry concepts.
While you can buy 3D shapes, using the free foldable versions can save you money and also show your learners how geometric shapes are formed.
I have a list of some sites for you today with free printable shapes that you can use for teaching.
Here they are.
