objective: To find the cube of a number by paper folding activity.
Materials required: Some chart papers, scissors, an instrument box.

Procedure:
Let us find the cube of 4.

• Take a rectangular sheet of paper and fold it into four equal parts along the breadth, as
shown below.

• Again, fold it into four equal parts along the length as shown below.

• Further, fold it again into four equal parts as shown here.

• Unfold the sheet and count the number of parts. We will have ............ equal parts in all.

observation:

• Here, we folded the paper three times in four equal parts.
So, the number of folds = 3 and number of equal parts = 64

3
Thus, 4 = 64.
