Opposite faces

Which face is opposite?

A cube has 3 pairs of opposite faces. Before folding, think about which faces of the net end up opposite each other.

Preparing questions…

Tips for finding them

  • In 3 faces in a straight line, the two ends are opposite (skip one).
  • Faces that share an edge are never opposite.
  • Even when faces zigzag, look for the face you reach by “skipping one”.
