The entire multiplication table from 1 to 10 may be constructed in geometric form using the beads.
A ten compartment beechwood box with lid stores 55 of each of the coloured bead bars from 1-10.
To multiply by one each of the ten beads are laid out once
To multiply by two each of the ten beads are laid out together twice.
The Multiplication Bead Bar box has the extra beads needed to show the product.
