Introduction
Cube Folding is a spatial-reasoning module in the FEAST Preparation Suite. Each round shows an unfolded net with six numbered faces and several folded cubes. You select the cube that can be made from that net.
The task
Start with the unfolded net at the bottom of the board. Work out which faces become adjacent and which faces end up opposite one another. Then compare those relationships with the folded options above and click the matching cube.
Face orientation matters as well as face position. A cube can show the correct numbers on neighbouring faces and still be wrong because one pip pattern has been turned. Compare the direction of each pattern after mentally folding the net.
The same numbered face can appear in a different position when the cube is turned, so matching visible numbers alone is not enough. Look at the three faces that meet at each visible corner. Their order must be possible on the unfolded net, and each pip pattern must still face the correct way after folding.
Difficulty runs from EASY, through Medium and Hard, to TEST. Across the module, the task remains the same. Read the net, rule out impossible cubes, and select the one arrangement that preserves every face relationship.
Priorities
Begin with one distinctive face and identify its neighbours. Eliminate any option that places opposite faces together or separates faces that must touch. Once the face relationships fit, check the rotation of the visible pip patterns. This order is faster and more reliable than trying to fold the entire net at once for every option.
The in-module walkthrough demonstrates how the unfolded net relates to the correct cube before the timed rounds begin. Distinguish Left and Right, Estimate Distances and Directions, and Scan and Compare Figures are other FEAST I modules in the suite. A broader overview is available in FEAST Modules Explained.
