Ancient Egyptian Multiplication

I created this video for the Thinking Math class that I facilitate. To develop an complete understanding of multiplication, one must understand that multiplication is about groups of a specific number. Being able to decompose or recompose numbers is a higher level skill that shows number sense. The Egyptians had this down. This video is helpful for building the idea that multiplication is about equal groups.
