Complete different tasks at the farm with every correct answer, from planting seeds to growing and collecting fruit, fixing tractors and mending fences. A farmer’s work is never done! With each correct response, students complete another job and bring the busy farm one step closer to success.

In this version, students examine a series of nets and decide whether each one can be folded to form a cube. By analysing face placement and orientation, students apply spatial reasoning and 3D shape knowledge in a meaningful, problem-solving context that links geometry with visual thinking.

Let’s Farm – Nets of a Cube is ideal for Year 4–6 students learning about 3D objects and surface area. It’s a great addition to your measurement or geometry unit and works perfectly in small group rotations or for independent play using the QR code.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify nets that fold to form a cube
• ✅ Strengthen spatial reasoning and visualisation skills
• ✅ Understand the relationship between 2D nets and 3D objects
• ✅ Reinforce knowledge of cube properties and structure
• ✅ Engage in task-based gameplay that encourages critical thinking

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a 2D net layout and must decide if it can be folded into a cube.
2. Each correct answer completes part of a farm task like harvesting, repairing, or collecting.
3. Some tasks take more than one answer to complete, maintaining engagement and focus.
4. The game continues until all questions have been answered.
5. At the end, students receive a wrap-up summary showing everything they achieved on the farm.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during geometry lessons to reinforce understanding of 3D shapes and nets
• 💡 Great for Year 4–6 students exploring spatial reasoning
• 💡 Pair with a hands-on task building cubes from cut-out nets
• 💡 Follow up with a student challenge to design their own cube net

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Farm – Nets of a Cube brings geometry to life on the farm, challenging students to apply visual reasoning and build their understanding of 3D structures through interactive play!
