We had great solutions to this problem from children at Cupernham Junior School and also from Christopher. Both Scarlett from Cupernham and Christopher began by drawing the faces of the cube they had made:

However, it is a little difficult to be clear how the sides fit together and Scarlett explained that she decided to draw the results as a net instead:

Then her friends joined in and sent us different nets of the same cube:

net of cubeAbigail and William

net of cubeEd

net of cubeBethany
