Net for Tetrahedron

Topic

3D Geometry

Description

This animation shows the net of a tetrahedron folding into the tetrahedron. A tetrahedron's net consists of four equilateral triangles that, when folded, form the four faces of the tetrahedron.

Animated math clip art like this is invaluable for teaching as it helps students visualize how 2D shapes form 3D objects. Teachers can use this to explain concepts of symmetry, face relationships, and properties of regular polyhedra.

Here's a potential script for teachers: "Watch how this 2D net folds into a 3D tetrahedron. How many triangles make up the net? How does this help us understand the structure and symmetry of a tetrahedron?"
