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

- Gluing tabs
- Product name and company on most sides
- Adveritsing slogan
