Great Visual Multiplacation video from Vi Hart

Some wonderful quotes from the video:

"We have been trained to care about notation way too much"

"Math is NOT marks on a page. The mathematics is in what those marks represent".

Stephen

[Alan Kay]

I adore this! Who is the wonderful narrator?

The comments are almost as interesting ... many people still would like to add this as "a method" rather than understanding what multiplication might be ...

Cheers,

Alan
