What is inside this free 11+ cube nets worksheet?

The PDF teaches cube nets with a cut-and-fold model, then moves into original 11+ non-verbal reasoning cube-view questions with worked answers.

Quick answer: A cube net is six edge-connected squares laid flat so they can fold into the six faces of a cube. The worksheet shows how to test the fold, find opposite faces and rule out impossible or mirrored cube views.

MAKE IT REAL

Cut out a net.
Fold your own cube.

The hands-on model lets your child check which faces meet, which sit opposite, and why a tempting wrong answer cannot work.

01

See the fold

Clear diagrams explain how six flat squares become six cube faces.

02

Test real and false nets

Compare shapes that fold cleanly with shapes that collide or overlap.

03

Solve eight questions

Original A to D cube-view questions turn the idea into 11+ practice.

04

Understand the answers

Worked explanations show why each answer is right, not just the letter.

How to solve 11+ cube nets and folding questions

Count the six faces, picture each square folding onto a different side, then use opposite faces to eliminate impossible cube views. Check the order of the three faces around a corner too, because a mirror image is not the same as a rotation.

Explore the 11+ nets and cubes guide
01

Count six

A cube has six faces. A missing or extra square rules the shape out.

02

Fold in your mind

Every square must reach a different face without overlapping.

03

Check opposites

Opposite faces cannot appear together at the same corner.

Worked example: which faces are opposite?

In the illustrated net, A, B, C and D form a strip, with E above B and F below B. When it folds, A faces C, B faces D, and E faces F.

An answer showing an opposite pair at one visible corner cannot be right. After that elimination, check the remaining faces in order so a mirrored cube does not slip through.

Quick answers for parents

Cube nets worksheet: questions and answers

Use the PDF as an untimed learning activity first. Once your child can explain why a cube view works or fails, try the wider 11+ spatial reasoning guide or a full non-verbal reasoning practice paper.

What is a cube net?

A cube net is a flat arrangement of six connected squares that can fold into the six faces of a cube.

How can I tell whether a net makes a cube?

Check for six edge-connected squares, then picture each square folding onto a different face: top, bottom, front, back, left and right. If two squares would land on the same face, the net cannot make a cube.

How do you find opposite faces on a cube net?

Two squares separated by one square in a straight line fold to opposite faces. In the example above, A faces C, B faces D, and E faces F, so those pairs cannot meet at a visible corner.

Are cube nets and cube rotation the same type of 11+ question?

No: cube-net questions start with six connected squares laid flat and ask you to picture the folded cube. Cube-rotation questions start with a 3D shape and ask whether another view shows the same object turned rather than reflected.
