Abstract

This article presents the responses and reasoning of Class 4 students from Shikha Academy, a low-income school in Mumbai, India that follows the Cambridge curriculum. The session involved 18 students and was based on a hands-on mathematical activity titled “Polyominoes and Nets of a Cube”, adapted from a worksheet published in At Right Angles by Azim Premji University (2022) (see https://bit.ly/4a5ztvB ) Polyominoes are plane geometric figures formed by joining two or more equal-sized squares edge to edge, and they can take various shapes—such as dominoes, trominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes—depending on the number and arrangement of the squares.
