  3. Learning journey
    • Look at boxes
    • Nets
    • Researching box styles
    • creating nets
    • Decorating in 40’s style
    • cutting, scoring and gluing box

1 Look at boxes

  • What makes it interesting?
  • Why is it that shape?
  • How many sides? What shapes?
  • Does it have a lid?
  • How does it open?

2 Explore nets

  • Goto Polypad (one of the Mathigon tools)
  • Drag out some 3d solids and unfold them to see their nets. This only shows one net – there are different nets for the same 3d shapes.
  • Create your own nets by dragging out 2d shapes then selecting and folding to make 3d shapes.
  • Do a Google image search for “3d shapes nets”. Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page.

3 Research WW2 boxes

  • Search for example of boxes from WW2 times
  • Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page

4 Creating nets

  • Decide on a box shape
  • in j2e5, create the net with gluing tabs
  • if in doubt, include a tab – you can always cut it off if you don’t need it
  • Make sure shapes are exactly sized and positioned – very small mistakes will mean your net doesn’t fold up.
  • include your name on the page

5 Create box design – draw shapes, write and style text

  1. Look at your research into 19040s boxes
  2. Write the text for the box
    • company, product name, slogan, information….
    • make it realistic (but you may need to make it up)
  3. Choose fonts and colours
  4. Draw graphics
    • background, stripes, shapes, logo
    • You are designing it, so no Google images
