Basic cubes form the basis of many packaging designs.

There are lots of packaging designs in the [http://www.dtonline.org/apps/menu/app?3&areas%2F2%2F1%2Fo%2F&0 '''DT Online Packaging'''] application - including many [http://www.dtonline.org/apps/object/app?1&2&1&1&1&1&0 '''cube and cuboid type packages''']].

The [http://www.dtonline.org/apps/menu/app?3&areas%2F2%2F1%2Fo%2F&0 '''DT Online Packaging'''] enables users to alter box sizes and material thickness to create nets for packaging of various proportions.

* Find some empty packaging and take it apart to see the real examples of '''‘nets’''' or '''‘developments’''' used to make them.
* Notice how and where they are joined so they hold together.
* The completed '''‘Development’''' would need to have glue tabs, added or some form of interlocking design, if the cube is to be made up into a real box.
* Dotted lines can also be used to show where to fold.

'''Note:'''
* Can you see where tabs would need to be added to each of the 11 different ways of making a cube?
* How would you design a '''‘net’''' for a box that is longer than it is wide?
* Can you draw a development to produce a tetrahedron?
* How would you change your development to make the cube from 3mm thick acrylic instead of thin card?
