Cube Folding

Cube Folding is a spatial-reasoning drill. Each question shows a flat 2D net (an unfolded cube) and five 3D cube options. You identify which cube would be formed if the net were folded up. The same mental-rotation task appears in the Mako Trading online assessment.

Study the 2D net, picture how the faces fold together, then click the cube option that matches (or press 1-5 on desktop). You get instant feedback, a green flash for a correct pick and red for a wrong one, and the next question loads automatically. After the session you can reopen every net and its cube options in the question review.

Each session mixes face types: colours, shapes, dice, numbers, letters, icons and patterns. The face type does not change the puzzle, it is always about how the net folds, but it keeps you from pattern-matching on a single cue.

Your score is net cubes per minute. Every cube you identify correctly is worth +1 and every wrong answer −1, and that net total is divided by the length of your session. Pick a session length with the timer (1 to 10 minutes), then identify as many cubes as you can before the clock runs out. Speed and accuracy both matter, so stay accurate rather than rushing.

Build the habit of fixing one face as a reference and tracking where its neighbours land as the net folds. Short, frequent sessions beat occasional long ones, so train a few times a week and your accuracy on the harder options, the ones that show the right faces in an arrangement the cube cannot make, will climb.
