Here are the six faces of a cube - in no particular order:

 

Six faces of a cube showing a purple star, a blue cross, a red cross, a square, a red star and a circle

 

Here are three views of the cube:

1st cube - top face=square, left face=circle, right face =blue cross. 2nd cube - top face=square, left face=blue cross, right face=purple star. 3rd cube - top face=circle, left face=square, right face=red star

 

Can you deduce where the faces are in relation to each other and record them on the net of this cube?

You might like to use this interactivity to keep track of your thinking. You can drag the picture of each face onto the net.
