Net for Antiprism

Topic

3D Geometry

Description

This animation shows the net of an antiprism unfolding and folding. A net is a 2D representation of a 3D shape that, when folded, creates the 3D object. For an antiprism, this includes two polygonal bases and a band of triangles.

Animated math clip art like this is invaluable for teaching as it helps students visualize the transition between 2D and 3D representations. Teachers can use this to explain concepts of surface area, shape properties, and spatial reasoning.

Here's a potential script for teachers: "Watch how this 2D net folds into a 3D antiprism. Can you identify the different faces? How does this help us understand the structure and surface area of an antiprism?"
